    BFAST index, not understand warnings

    Hello,

    I want to created index files in color space from NCBI build 36 in color space.
    Here is my command
    `which time` bfast index -f NCBI36.fa -n 8 -w 14 -i 1 -A 1 -m 1111111111111111111111

    Then I got warning like "startContig was less than zero.", "endContig was greater than the number of contigs in the reference genome.". But I am sure I am using the same FASTA reference genome file. So is there anything I should do for these warnings? And is anyone have experience about how long it takes to build this index file?

    Part of the outputs:

    You can ignore the warnings if you didn't specify the "-s" or "-e" options. Each index takes about 4-5 hours to build (8 threads).

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
