addSolexaReads.perl error

06-20-2014, 08:42 AM

Hey guys,

I'm trying to use the command addSolexaReads.perl to add the rest of my fastq reads to an assembly made with Newbler, but I keep getting the error "-ace must be specified." I think I'm including all of the correct files for the addSolexaReads.perl command but still keep getting that error.

Has anyone come across this before or might know where the problem is coming from?

Thanks!

Syntax has changed

The addSolexaReads.perl syntax changed around consed 23.

Old syntax:

Code:

addSolexaReads.perl your_ace_file.ace your_fileoffilenames.fof your_fasta.fasta

New syntax, where you explicitly specify the options:

Code:

addSolexaReads.perl -ace your_ace_file.ace -fastqfof your_fileoffilenames.fof -fasta your_fasta.fasta

Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems

by SEQadmin2

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival

by SEQadmin2

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

by GATTACAT

Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
