[AMOS-help] How to convert a file to prefix.1con file

[Tram Ta <myt...@gm...>]

Hi, thank you for looking at this post.

I am using Amoscmp-shortread-alignment-trimed to assemble a bacteria genome
and have a question about the "xxxx.1con" file. As I read, the reference
genome should be in format xxxx.1con, and I did search online to find how to
convert to this file format but there is no help.

I ran the Amoscmp-shortread-alignment-trimed, using Amos-message file for
the target, and a fasta file for reference, and Amos didn't complain, it
worked. So my questions are:

1. Is it Ok to use a fasta file for the reference genome?
2. And how to convert a file (fasta, ...) to the xxx.1con file (if there is
already explanation for this, please show me the link)?

Thank you in advance (your answer will save me a lot of time to search) :)
