Wrong version of data file with Fgenesh gene finder

Question

[Rob]

Hi,

When I launch fgenesh I got:

Wrong version of data file
Please update: your dat file for old version of fgenesh

I don't understand why I got such output, how can fasta data file be in the wrong version?

I didn't understand the 2nd line either, I have the 2.6 version. How am I supposed to update a dat file? That kind of output is freaky disturbing..

Did somebody already use this tool and can give my some informations about it?

I never used it, but I think you are misinterpreting the error message: it is not complaining about your fasta file, the dat file is probably some configuration or model file. The message says you executable and dat versions are incompatible.

[Rob]

Yeah, you are definitely right. I can't find the dat file so I will see if I can reinstall it. It not easy because there is no documentation about this tool.. Thanks.

Were you able to use fgenesh in the end? If not, what is the error messages you get now? I can ask Victor Solovyev directly about your situation. Or maybe you can send me your fasta file and information about the organism at [e-mail] so I can run genome annotation for you.

Hi, thanks for your concern. I was confused by the error message, but @h.mon was right, I didn't use a correct fgenesh database. Now it's good, except that it didn't currently work with my multifasta file, but only with the contigs one by one. Do you know if this is a normal behaviour? I got Error reading nucleotide sequence. can this came from some N in my sequences?
