[maker-devel] How to address errors encountered in process of submitting genome

[Glenna Kramer]

Thank you for the thought! 

So, to clarify do you use funannotate predict on the maker gff files, similar to the last example given here? https://github.com/nextgenusfs/funannotate/wiki. I'm completely willing to give it a shot...

Is brings up other questions for me, though.  How do you do your functional annotation? Maker? I noticed that funannotate will do functional annotation, but currently was adding in my functional annotation using GAG when I was converting the maker gff to tbl.  

Also, from what I understand, funannotate will output a gbk from the gff.  Do you have a particular file conversion tool to get that onto the sqn format that you've had success with?

Thanks,
Glenna

Glenna -

FWIW - I've switched to doing an EVM cleanup with funannotate after MAKER due to these issues with MAKER and fungal genomes I submit.

Hi there,

I am attempting to submit a fungal genome to NCBI and have run into quite a few errors running tbl2asn.  I know this isn't directly related to MAKER, but I'm hoping that someone here has been through this process and would be able to give some insight (or at least point me in the direction of another knowledgeable source)!

Here is a general overview of the process that have used so far:
1. Converted MAKER GFF3 files to tbl files using GAG (ran options remove_introns_shorter_than 10 and fix_start_stop and added functional annotation as well).  This seems to work well to convert the GFF3 to tbl.
2. Use tbl2asn to convert the tbl to sqn file.  This also seems to work, but I am getting lots of errors in the .val output file, which I am unsure how to address.  There are...

    56 ERROR:   SEQ_FEAT.BadTrailingHyphen
  1525 ERROR:   SEQ_FEAT.InternalStop
  1142 ERROR:   SEQ_FEAT.NoStop
    10 ERROR:   SEQ_FEAT.PartialProblem
  2368 ERROR:   SEQ_FEAT.StartCodon
  2368 ERROR:   SEQ_INST.BadProteinStart
  1525 ERROR:   SEQ_INST.StopInProtein

     1 WARNING: SEQ_FEAT.ProteinNameEndsInBracket
    19 WARNING: SEQ_FEAT.ShortExon
   270 INFO:    SEQ_FEAT.RareSpliceConsensusDonor

Also, just as a side note, has anyone tried the new table2asn_GFF converter that is up to convert GFF3 directly to sqn?  I was thinking that I would give that a shot hoping that it would help with some of these errors.  However, I was instantly met with an error as well.  "Too many positional arguments (1), the offending value: ends."

Thank you so much in advance for any help you are able to give!
