Hello, I'm trying to run an assembly (EST, denovo, 454) on two strains and am experiencing some problems. I've merged my read, quality, and xml files and have provided the strain data file and put them in my working directory. It appears as though mira can find my files and it loads all of them successfully except for the .xml file. I get the following error message: MIRA tried to load a XML TRACEINFO file containing ancillary data, but failed. Fatal Error (may be due to problems of the input data): "The XML Parser had a severe semantical problem, see error message and line number above: CoxyCpal_traceinfo_in.454.xml" ->Thrown: void NCBIInfoXML::readXMLFile(string filename) ->Caught: void ReadPool::mergeXMLTraceInfo(const string & filename) Program aborted, probably due to error in the input data or parametrisation. Any thoughts or suggestions on what might be the problem? Thanks! Stephanie Pearl
