Issue is still lingering. I’ve tried my full ‘ideal’ run using both the BLAST legacy 2.2.26 and also 2.6 and get the same error, so doesn’t seem to be a BLAST issue.

Seems to be running fine without my GFF, which indicates to me that the issue is this file and not BLAST.

I’ve run MAKER on a vertebrate genome and it runs fine and finishes all but the 8 longest scaffolds. These are all above 65Mb (others are below 5Mb) and most are around 20% Ns (one is 35%). The 9th longest sequence, which is just above 60Mb and 27% Ns finished fine too, which is strange because it is the only really long scaffold to run to completion. The fact that MAKER works fine on all but a few scaffolds indicates to me that the issue is those scaffolds and not MAKER/my settings, but the only difference is the length of the sequences. Is there an upper limit on scaffold size?<br class=""><br class="">I originally ran whole genome as MPI, but have since tried to rerun individual scaffolds using a single core and still get issues.
