Hi Travis, Bastien, the real problem is the closing brace of the CT tag being on the same line as the closing brace for the COMMENT. Tags with comments look like this: CT{ Contig1 polymorphism consed 1308 1315 080819:132640 COMMENT{ this is comment line 1 this is comment line 2 C} } (taken from the same consed doku). btw. you should switch to consed v19; there is no need to stick to v18 (unless you need to pay for it). There should be some bugs fixed ... hth, Sven 2009/8/3 Tony Travis <a.travis@xxxxxxxxxx> > Hello, Bastien. > > I've just tried reading the 'ace' format output by MIRA 3 into Consed 18.0, > but it fails to parse the file correctly because of errors in the MIRA CT > (Consensus Tag) format > > This is an example from my ace file created by MIRA 3 today: > > CT{ > R_hominis_c1 MIRA MIRA 1 5 020202:121212 NoTrans > COMMENT{ > Assembled with MIRA > C}} > > CT{ > R_hominis_c1 DGPc MIRA 22 22 020202:121212 NoTrans > COMMENT{ > *: 1 C: 1 - 50% > C}} > > I don't think ace file comments can be nested '{}' or read in this format - > An example from the Consed 18.0 documentation looks like: > > CT{ > Contig1 comment consed 996 1007 971218:180623 > This is line 1 of a comment > There may be any number of lines > } > > Maybe my ace output should look more like this? > > CT{ > R_hominis_c1 MIRA MIRA 1 5 020202:121212 NoTrans > } > > CT{ > R_hominis_c1 comment MIRA 1 5 020202:121212 NoTrans > Assembled with MIRA > } > > CT{ > R_hominis_c1 DGPc MIRA 22 22 020202:121212 NoTrans > } > > CT{ > R_hominis_c1 comment MIRA 22 22 020202:121212 NoTrans > *: 1 C: 1 - 50% > } > > Bye, > > Tony. > -- > Dr. A.J.Travis, University of Aberdeen, Rowett Institute of Nutrition > and Health, Greenburn Road, Bucksburn, Aberdeen AB21 9SB, Scotland, UK > tel +44(0)1224 712751, fax +44(0)1224 716687, http://www.rowett.ac.uk > mailto:a.travis@xxxxxxxxxx, > http://bioinformatics.rri.sari.ac.uk/~ajt<http://bioinformatics.rri.sari.ac.uk/%7Eajt> > > -- > You have received this mail because you are subscribed to the mira_talk > mailing list.
