augustus gene finder

[condomitti]

Hello fellows,

I've been trying to train Augustus with Anolis Carolinensis dataset (available through ENSEMBL website). I've downloaded genbank files and run the command etraining, specifying the training file and the species name for which to train. I'm getting the following error message:


mRNA contains character c
GBProcessor::getGeneList(): GBProcessor::getJoin( ): failed!!!
Encountered error after reading 0 annotations.

etraining: ERROR
No genbank sequences found.


Has any of you faced anything similar to that?

This is how the genbank file looks like: http://s13.postimg.org/nlg8peh6f/Cap...2_20_58_58.png

I've been trying to find a solution for almost 3 hours now and nothing.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

Based on the example data provided it appears that Augustus may be expecting the training sequences to be in this format:

GenoMax, do you know any tool I could use to convert from one format to the one in the example?

Thanks.
