Discovar assembly no reference reads(urgent)

Question

[lanyuhao1991]

Hi all, I need your help.

I have reads (fastq,pair-end) that have no reference genome. I want to use Discovar to assembly(no reference). I use the following step:

1. First, I convert pair-end fastq files to bam file. (for example, a1.fastq, a2.fastq -> a.bam). The bam has no region information because I do not have reference genome. BAM file is about 21Gb

2. Second, I use Discovar. When I use this command:

Discovar READS=M2_AACG_L002_R.bam OUT_HEAD=assembly REGIONS=all TMP=tmp

the result is:

Using no REGIONS restriction when the BAM files total more than 10737418240
bytes, which is not officially supported at this time.
Sorry, Discovar cannot proceed.

If I change the REGIONS to 0

Discovar READS=M2_AACG_L002_R.bam OUT_HEAD=assembly REGIONS=0 TMP=tmp

The result is :

```There appears to be an incompatibility between your READS and REGIONS arguments. Specifically, the region 0 refers to reference record 0, which is not declared in the header for bam file

M2_AACG_L002_R.bam. Sorry, Discovar cannot proceed. ```

Do you know how can I solve this question?

And how can I declared the reference record in the header for bam file?

Thanks a lot, I need your help.
