I have been running DNA Master using WINE on my Mac (High Sierra) since 2016 and have had no problems with it (including last week). When I tried to open it today, it wouldn't start at all. I downloaded Quartz and DNA Master again, but they still won't work. Has this method expired? I recently removed Flash Player from my computer. Would that cause a problem? Thanks.

I am having the same issues. Looking forward to how others have navigated it.

Thanks Chris. I checked on phages.db and the phams listed in your starterator report for Mattes are correct (For example, pham 25681 on the starterator report was given as 24343 on phamerator). I will check for a full update on phamerator to see if this issue is resolved.

Ok well it appears that flaverint does not crash my current "development" version of Starterator. So I can generate a whole phage report using it. The problem with the development version is that I have taken out much of the code that generates the summary text below the graph in anticipation of adding improved versions along the lines of the improvements to the single pham reports.

Consequently the whole phage report that comes out has all the graphics but none of the summary text. So, no counting which starts are annotated and/or conserved and no list of base locations for the various starts in the phage being analyzed, this means the online version is still better for all that info. The good news is that these whole phage reports do have the part of the PDF that you need to upload to PECAAN and PECAAN will have the links to the online versions.

Below are links to download the whole phage report for the crashing phage mentioned above as generated by the development version of starterator (for anyone interested the current development version is this branch of my person github repo).

Thanks so much Chris! I have a question related to this. The pham number in this report (for Mattes) does not always match that on the phamerator map. If the students use this starterator data download for their annotation, should I be worried about these discrepancies?

Two of the four phages we had sequenced in December, Aggie and Philonius, would not run on Starterator. Both are Cluster N, and both crashed on pham 21476, which was pham 52 of 70 in Aggie and pham 52 of 72 in Philonius. I am using the new SEA 2017 VM and the database is up to date. Any suggestions?

I have had the same issue with Mattes_Draft on starterator, but crashed just after starting.
