Novoalign Stack Dump

Question

[maude]

I'm trying to map sequencing reads (fastq) to a reference genome that I obtained by the sequence of a plasmid. I'm using this version of Novoalign

  # novoalign (V3.07.00 - Build Feb  7 2017 @ 14:09:01) - A short read aligner with qualities.
 # (C) 2008-2016 Novocraft Technologies Sdn Bhd.

I've first constructed a index using novoindex:

'/home/Desktop/novocraft/novoindex' '/data_disk2/DNA/LacO.nix' '/data_disk2/Maude/DNA/LacO_plasmid.fa'

Then I'm trying to align my reads with novoalign

'/home/Desktop/novocraft/novoalign' -d '/data_disk2/DNA/LacO.nix' -f '/data_disk2/116_5m_b_L7_R1_001_3LdtqsRBoXl6.fastq' '/data_disk2/116_5m_b_L7_R2_001_IyVEjiInhBZo.fastq' -o SAM -r Random > '/data_disk2/5min_rep2.sam'

But after few minutes running I obtain the following error message

Interrupted..11

Do you have any idea about what could goes wrong? Thank you! Maude

Has this install of novoalign worked for other jobs in past? What OS are you using this on?

[maude]

Yes it worked well with c.elegans genome before. I think the problem is coming from my new index file but I don't understand why...

I'm using Ubuntu

[GenoMax]

Have you tried remaking the index?

[maude]

yes I tried few times and I always have the same error message. I'm now trying to align it on the C.elegans index that I know works to see if the problem is really coming from the index file.

Are there any odd things with your fasta file? Like extra blank lines/non-ACTG characters etc? You may want to clean those out and try (if present).

Hi, You might try a later version of Novoalign to see if that helps.

If not could you contact me at [e-mail]. I may ask you to share files so I can run in debug mode.
