Problem in indexing toplevel genome with HISAT2

As I mentioned in my old post, I was unable to index a toplevel genome (both unmasked and soft-masked) with HISAT2. I still have problems with that. I'm using command as below: hisat2-build -f Mus_musculus.GRCm38.dna.toplevel.fa.gz Cm3895_ht2/GRCm38

Firstly, it gives these warnings in lots of lines:

Warning: Encountered empty reference sequence
Warning: Encountered reference sequence with only gaps

and after some time, it gives an error as below:

Calculating joined length
Writing header
Reserving space for joined string
Joining reference sequences
Reference file does not seem to be a FASTA file
  Time to join reference sequences: 00:00:00
Total time for call to driver() for forward index: 00:28:31
Error: Encountered internal HISAT2 exception (#1)
Command: hisat2-build --wrapper basic-0 -f Mus_musculus.GRCm38.dna.toplevel.fa.gz Cm3895_ht2/GRCm38

Previously, I had no problem when using separate chromosome files. Is there anything I'm missing when using toplevel genome? Thanks...

Guess you have the answer inside error log: 'Reference file does not seem to be a FASTA file'. Try to unpack the reference file to fasta format and run index build once again.

Yes, it worked after unpacking. Gzipped files normally work with main hisat2 command, therefore I couldn't think about this reason. Thank you...

It worked after unpacking the genome. I couldn't figure out that gzipped files won't work whereas they work with main hisat2 command. Problem solved!

I encountered the same problem and solved it by unzipping genome file. Thank you for bringing this up as a question.
