[maker-devel] Error running MAKER

Wed Nov 30 12:24:36 MST 2016

Yes. You can either separate out the contig using fasta_tool or find the contig in the datastore directory (failed contigs will have fasta created there just for the failed contig). Then you can use 'maker -g contig.fasta -base original_base_name’ (-g and -base options) to specify that you want it to use the new contig fasta but write results to the given base directory (i.e. same as previous output directory). Remember to set -t (or tries in the maker_opts.ctl file) to a higher count when doing this.

They may both try to process the same contig at the same time (modifying each others files) which will cause one or both to fail. On failure, it should always retry at some later point. So it can usually recover from this. If you see any partial lines in the resulting GFF3, then it did not recover and you need to just rerun whatever contig this happened on.

>>> The cause of the error is probably further back in the STDERR. With MPI so many processes are producing status and notes, that you can get several seconds of output after ta failure. If you kept the whole STDERR, I can help you look through it.  searching for “ERROR” all caps is usually where you will see it. Also MAKER keeps a log of progress, so even on failure, you can just restart it and it will pick up the analysis from the last successful step.
