    HI,

    Running species delimitation, my first gene (mt) loads in fine, then my second gene (of five), no matter which one it is - ends up with an "error" that I've pasted below. I'm sure it's something silly I'm missing either in my data or the control file. I'm using the latest version of BPP (with the GUI BPPX). Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Alex

    I think I may have figured it out but it's one of a few things. The thing that sticks out, though, is that in the GUI, when you try to change the sequences per population, there is a bug where you can't enter over 99. Three digits is out. If you change the actual control file you can then load the file back into the GUI and it works like normal.

      thanks for noting this. i'll ask xu bo to change bppX.

        Hi, you still can't enter more than 99 in nloci.

    Hi there,

    I'm using bppX to try to delimit some cryptic species I am working on. When I ran bppX with the example files it ran well and completed the analysis quickly. Unfortunately when I tried to run my own data (several times) I received a "killed" message that is hard to decipher, perhaps someone could assist please?

    My data set has 13 putative "species" and two genes with several hundred sequences for each of the two genes. Below is the error message that I receive from bppX:

    C:\Users\Jen\Desktop\bpp\bppX\bpp.exe running...

    bp&p Version 2.2, December 2012

    Reading options from bpp.ctl.tmp..
    13 species: 1 (4) 2 (8) 3 (11) 4 (94) 5 (2) 6 (9) 7 (4) 8 (54) 9 (4) 10 (98) 11 (42) 12 (55) 13 (7)

    Species 33Lukosi?

    C:\Users\Jen\Desktop\bpp\bppX\bpp.exe -- killed


    It appears from the control file (attached) that the bpp programme reads everything in the control file okay until it gets to the newick tree and then it seems to be "killed" when it hits the name of the first individual sequence in the tree (called 33Lukosi)... and then the programme quits for some unknown reason.

    Also, do the sequence names in the phylip file have to be fewer than 10 characters for the programme to run correctly?

    Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

    Jen

      there is a cryptic error message

      "Species 33Lukosi?"

      something seems to be wrong with the sequence data file.

    I've solved one problem, but now getting a different error message. In the first instance, I'd had the wrong newick tree in my file, because I'd used the full species tree rather than the simplified version with just the species names that were delimited as input.

    Unfortunately, I have tried to run it again, both using bppX and bpp.exe (Windows) and am now getting the following cryptic error message:
    "Error: too many daughter nodes, raise MAXNSONS."

    Any idea what "MAXNSONS" is and how I can fix it please? Suggestions greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Jen

      the guide tree has to be fully resolved.

        I had the same problem "Error: too many daughter nodes, raise MAXNSONS". How can it be solved? My tree is fully resolved but I had that same problem. How can I raise the MAXNSONS?

        Thanks,

          the tree has to be a fully resolved tree and has to be rooted. for example ((A, B), C); is fine, but (A, B, C) is not.
          pls check.
