  • Please help with newbie Bowtie2 question (Mac)!

    Hello everyone,

    I've just downloaded "bowtie2-2.1.0-macos-x86_64.zip" on my mac. Put the unzipped file directly under Users/Behr.

    The file seems to contain all necessary files:
    (sequence.fasta is lambda phage sequence for practice).

    Behrs-MacBook-Pro:bt2_home Behr$ ls -p
    AUTHORS
    LICENSE
    MANUAL
    MANUAL.markdown
    MAPK10.fasta
    NEWS
    TUTORIAL
    VERSION
    bowtie2
    bowtie2-align
    bowtie2-align-debug
    bowtie2-build
    bowtie2-build-debug
    bowtie2-inspect
    bowtie2-inspect-debug
    doc/
    example/
    scripts/
    sequence.fasta

    However when I ran the command, I got 2 error messages:
    Behrs-MacBook-Pro:bt2_home Behr$ /Users/Behr/BT2_home/bowtie2-build /Users/Behr/BT2_home/sequence.fa blah

    Error: Encountered internal Bowtie 2 exception (#1)

    Can someone help me with this, please?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    The directory for your fa file may not be right. You can try ~/ to indicate your fa file direct

      Thank you, that fixed the problem - it's indeed the .fa! (should be .fasta).
      Joyce :P
