I got the above error when trying to run MACS 1.4.2 (I'm copying the parameter/output below). I ran previously the same sample/control with mfiold=32 but got no peaks. Than changed mfold to 10 and got this error. Does anyone know what is going on and what to do about it?
MACS input/output (error message is at the end):
========================================================
effective genome size = 1.00e+09

The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...02-24-2025, 06:31 AM
