Chris, actually I meant that the issue in Starterator with is with phage Jordan, not phage Nightmare. It's phage Jordan where we receive the error message starting at gene gp3.

quote="david dunbar"]Dear Chris, last night I did the Starterator report on phage Pitadog and it went fine. For phage Nightmare Starerator gets "hung up" on gp3 with an error message. If and when you have time, could you please look into whether you are having a similar issue with the Nightmare Starterator report?

Thanks,
David

Chris, thanks for all your help!!!! My IT department is going to have a look at my virtual box later this week. We are on our semester break so IT hours are limited. In the meantime, would it be possible for you to send me just two more Starterator reports for phages Lucy and Vallejo? I tried and exhausted all your suggestions to get Starterator to behave properly on my laptop. Phamerator works just fine, however.

Chris, I deleted the intermediate files as per your instructions. Starterator still crashed on me when I tried it on any of the AK cluster phages we are working on (Suppi, RcigaStruga, Christian, Huntingdon and Canowicakte. I was successful in getting the Starterator file for Suppi but was asked to create a Wash U account username and password to access the Starterator file for RcigaStruga. It looks like I would have to pay a fee to generate a username and password. Would it be possible for you to send me the files as email attachments (dunbardavid75@gmail.com).

On a similar note, I logged on and off still could not get Starterator to work. I'm guessing it's my virtual machine that is given me the issues. Strange, however, that up until a week ago Starterator worked fine for me and now is doesn't even trying your "fix".

Thanks,
David

Chris, thanks for the update! The crashing seems to be happening with the Arthrobacter AK Cluster phages we are working on. I don't want to overwhelm you with "feeding me" Starterator reports since we have seven AK Cluster phages we are working on. The ones that we are currently trying to finish up are the phages Suppi, RcigaStruga, Christian. Canawicakte and Huntingdon.

Just recently when I try to perform Starterator with my Arthrobacter phage genomes, it crashes by the first or second gene. When I go through Starterator gene by gene only about 25% of them give results. The other genes crash Starterator. I use the Actinobacteriophage draft database for Starterator.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how to rectify this issue?
