Hi, I'm trying to run maxbin2 using the command below
run_MaxBin.pl -contig /usr/local/tmp/tmpuaykixwj/sequence_contigs.fa -abund /usr/local/tmp/tmpuaykixwj/contig_coverages.txt -out /usr/local/tmp/tmpuaykixwj/MAXBIN_ -thread 36
and I encountered this error:
Failed to get abudance information from input file [/usr/local/tmp/tmpuaykixwj/MAXBIN_.contig.tmp.abund1].
The error lies in the following line:
===
0825536598789213
===
Please check your input abundance files.
Error encountered while running core MaxBin program. Error recorded in /usr/local/tmp/tmpuaykixwj/MAXBIN_.log.
Program Stop.
I do not have anywhere close to 825536598789213 lines in my file-- it's "only" 2.3 million lines and 3 Gb-- but the number 0.0825536598789213 appears in several lines. I've successfully run maxbin2 on a smaller dataset so I don't think it's an environment issue. (In case it's relevant, I'm running maxbin2 from the anvi-cluster-contigs command in anvio and running CentOS 7.9).
Any suggestions or even just an interpretation of the error?
Thanks,
Scott
