a5 Miseq pipeline error

I am using a5 Miseq pipeline but facing error while running example files of phix as well as sample files. [a5] ERROR:Unable to identify any properly paired reads [a5] ERROR: Please check that you have provided at least one library of paired-end reads with names conforming to the Illumina read pair convention.

Kindly help me out!

I asked for the output of the commands:

awk 'NR%4==1' /home/ambrina/a5_miseq_linux_20160825/example/phiX_p1.fastq | head

And 

awk 'NR%4==1' /home/ambrina/a5_miseq_linux_20160825/example/phiX_p2.fastq | head

But anyway, the problem is with the SGA binary from A5_MiSeq:

sh: 1: /home/ambrina/a5_miseq_linux_20160825/bin/sga: Permission denied

If you are luck it is just a matter of setting sga execute permissions, but you may even have to recompile it.

Hi! I also have almost the same errors as ambrinaakbar. I'm trying to do the test so I can see that everything is ok. But I encounter these errors.

This thread keeps being revived, so I will provide some recommendations as an answer, even though I am not really answering the actual (repeated) question.

1) I have used A5_MiSeq some years ago and, at the time, it provided the best assemblies for most samples. I also like its rich output, with several summary statistics about the assembly. However, its development stopped, and SPAdes continued improvements means current stand-alone SPAdes (version 3.14) produces better assemblies than A5_MiSeq. In addition, Shovill does an even better job than stand-alone SPAdes, producing the best assemblies for isolates, and also being light on resources and very fast.

So recommendation #1 is to use Shovill (for isolates) or SPAdes instead of A5_MiSeq.

2) A5_MiSeq is available at Bioconda, so, if you really need (or want) to use A5_MiSeq, install with conda.

3) If you really need (or want) to use A5_MiSeq, be sure to carefully read the messages and logs, and try to troubleshoot from there - e.g., try to run directly the command that failed in the pipeline.
