[maq-help] error for maq simutrain and maq simulate

[dhivya a. <dh...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to generate a random dataset using maq simutrain and maq
simulate, but I keep running into the following error:

maq: simulate.c:214: maq_simulate_core: Assertion `size_l <= fqc->l_max &&
size_r <= fqc->l_max' failed.


I came across this error when running simutrain using my large fastq file,
but when I trimmed the file to around 4000 lines, simutrain worked fine and
produced a simupars.data file.

But, when I use this file to run maq simulate, this error shows up again.

Anyone seen this before? Any idea why this error shows up and what it means?

Any help would be great.

thanks
Dhivya
