[MUMmer-help] Quick question

[Toral, M. <to...@mi...>]

Hello,

I am currently trying to run a mummer report comparing two whole genomes
between two organisms, but keep running into an early error.

Following the basic instructions in the mummer tutorial, I uploaded the two
fasta format genbank full genome files for the two organisms in question,
to use in the initial formation of the promer.delta file, but after I enter
the input:

"promer -p promer genome1.fasta genome2.fasta"

I receive the error:

"ERROR: prepro -r returned non-zero"

Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be much appreciated!

Thank you,

Marc
