Mosaik Aligner Error

Hello,

I am trying to align a set of 454 reads to a Reference Genome using the Mosaik Aligner. But when I run

../MosaikAligner -in ./r.dat -ia ref.dat -out Aligned.dat -m unique -mmp 0.15

I get the following output:

ERROR: Could not open  for reading.​

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

ngs mosaik unix alignment 454

Are the input files available and readable in the directory you are running this command from?

Yes they are

Do you have the necessary permissions on the files?

Yes - I have all permissions

Nevermind, problem solved

For anyone having the same problem, here is the solution I found:

../MosaikAligner -in ./r.dat -ia ref.dat -out Aligned_ACAC.dat -m unique -mmp 0.15 -annpe ../pe.ann  -annse ../se.ann​

The point is in letting the program know where the respective paired-end and single-end protocols are. These come with Mosaik.

You can accept your own solution. That will mark this question as solved.
