Thanks, Dan.

I made the changes and everything works perfectly now.

Chris:

Thanks for the information. I tried everything you mentioned, but still no luck.

I'm going to punt this one to Dan since I think he can resolve the issue quickly (and I think the answers to the sequencing questions are pretty straight forward just from a manual review).

Ok - just got some Sanger reads back on a phage that needed some finishing. I am following Dan's button pushing document which says to do the following:

"Adding Sanger Reads to a consed Assembly

1. Place the chromatogram (.ab1) files in the project’s chromat_dir.

2. Make a new file with the extension .fof (for file of filenames) and save it in the project’s edit_dir. This file should contain the exact names of the Sanger read files, one per line.

3. From the edit_dir, type consed and press Enter to launch consed.

4. In the Consed Main Window, click the Add New Reads button.

5. From the Files pane on the right, select your .fof file.

6. Click OK.

7. Once the process has finished, save the ace file."

However, when I get to step 6 I get a "512" unknown error.

Anybody have suggestions?

Was this problem ever resolved? I just tried running an auto-annotation and all I get back are tRNA calls and no protein-encoding genes.

Well - seemed to be working fine today. Don't know what changed.

One of the files is likely corrupted. Open each individually and make sure they look fine (I've noticed that the gene graphics at the bottom of the DNA Master window are usually missing on corrupt files). Once you find the corrupt file, you'll have to get that student to send you a corrected file (they may need to go back to an earlier one before the error and remake the file).

Thanks to Randy and his team for creating the tool and to Dan and Pitt for making a web-based version available. Had great success yesterday with setting up a database for my Streptomyces phages and was able to use the data to create a Splitstree output. This is something that's been on my to-do list for a while, so very happy to be able to do it now!

I think you are going to need Dan's help to figure this one out.

Hi Denise,

I'm not a lot of help on this, but one thought that came to mind was locating the tapemeasure gene first and then working backward from there to the likely area for the terminase.

Hello,

When we are compiling our final minimal annotation files for submission, should we leave the notes section for genes with no known function blank, or should we put "NKF"?

Thanks!
Jordan

Leave those with no known function blank.
