[maker-devel] MAKER error Failed while polishing proteins

[Carson Holt]

There is one warning message and one error message.

First this one —>
WARNING: The fasta file contains sequences with names longer
than 78 characters.  Long names get trimmed by BLAST, making
it harder to identify the source of an alignmnet. You might
want to reformat the fasta file with shorter IDs.
File_name:/escratch3/ranjani/ranjani_Oct_16/sn1_comparisons/uniprot_top_hits_sn1prot.fa

Also this one —> sh: File name too long

The cause of your failures are the long sequence identifiers in your fasta. There are actually several potential downstream issues as a result, but the most immediate is that some temporary file names are going to be based off the sequence ID, and because your seq IDs are really long, they result in file names that are bigger than the largest allowed filename for the system.

Here is one example of a long ID I see in your STDERR —>
SRCN_4312|tg_ortholog:TGME49_201150|EC:EC:3.6.3.12;EC:3.6.3.4;EC:3.6.3.8|scaff:scaffold00018|start:414787|end:435051|blastp_output:gi:401406237:ref:XP_003882568.1:

You need to reformat the header of each FASTA entry to make it shorter, not just for MAKER but for programs MAKER uses. Sequence Identifiers should be separated from other comment information in the FASTA header by spaces or else the comments become part of the identifier in accordance with FASTA format.

Thanks,
Carson

There are a number of errors reported about the fasta file, but I see these errors for the other scaffolds too and I get predictions and they run finished successfully , so I thought these errors might not be the reason..
