Right, backbone_analysis has to know where is backbone.conf. You have two options:
- backbone_analysis looks for backbone.conf in ./ , so if you run it on the project directory, where backbone.conf is it find it.
- Use the -s parameter to tell the path to backbone.conf

excute the command: python ./backbone_analysis.py -s ./temp001/ -a temp001

the error is following:

There are two quetions:

1. As the web the command is "ngs_backbone_create_project.py -p project_name
", but i can't find ngs_backbone_create_project.py file , the only similar file is backbone_create_project.py at the path of "./ngs_backbone/build/scripts-2.6/", so i must let the current path is "scripts-2.6";

2.At the command "ngs_backbone_analysis.py -a analysis_name", the parameter "-a" is mean project name or else what?

We have fixed that in the current git documentation.

For action or analysis.

~$ backbone_analysis.py -h

Regarding the error. Are your using the latest git version or the 0.1 release?

[robertorun]

the 0.1 release

[Jose Blanca]

Could you try the github one?

http://github.com/JoseBlanca/psubprocess/archives/master

[robertorun]

OK,thanks! I will try

[robertorun]

Could you try the github one?

http://github.com/JoseBlanca/psubpro...rchives/master

is the psubprocess all the package of NGS_backbone???

Hi Robert
have you considered using the approach listed here?
http://www.bio.utexas.edu/research/m...b/Methods.html

1stly it sounds like you may not have enough coverage to do a "complete transcriptome"

2ndly although you didn't mention the organism but de novo assembly uses huge ram

The method by Matz lab seems to work fine for them. although you might need tweaking

[robertorun]

Thanks！ I have read your paper and also will try to run this scripts!

Fedora 7?

@Robertorun
Hi,
Bit offtopic but...
I am a hardcore Fedora user. May I suggest you update to at least Fedora 12?

Support (updates and security fixes) is maintained for any given version until two new versions have been released, plus one month. This means that Fedora 11 will retire one month from now, because Fedora 13 was released two days ago. Yes, that quickly: a new release every half year.

You are still using Fedora 7, the first release that is no longer called 'Fedora Core' - they dropped 'Core' after merging the Core and Extras repos. This release has been retired since June 13, 2008. This means that you are working with outdated software packages and drivers, potentially causing many problems. (ugh, I make 2008 sound eons ago...)

If you do decide to change to a newer version of Fedora, I would recommend a fresh install instead of an upgrade (if that is even possible) to avoid trouble. It would probably be best to install Fedora 13, because then you'll have another year before having to upgrade it. If you are a KDE user (like me), don't be spooked by KDE 4. It takes some getting used to but you'll never want to go back to the not-nearly-as-slick KDE 3. I used to fall back to the Unofficial Fedora FAQ when in trouble but this website seems to no longer be supported.

Hope this helps...
