Problem With Gene Product Name Generator (Ahrd)?

Hi All,

I am trying to retrieve product names for the proteins in my genome. For this i am using the tool AHRD (https://github.com/groupschoof/AHRD), i would like to know if someone has used this tool before. I am currently encountering a Java error due to the possibly issues with the blastparser in the program, has anyone else faced the same issue?

Query: "java -Xmx2g -jar ./dist/ahrd.jar genome.yml"

Error: "Started AHRD...

...initialised proteins in 0sec, currently occupying 5 MB We are sorry, an un-expected ERROR occurred: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.biojava.bio.program.sax.BlastSAXParser.interpret(BlastSAXParser.java:224) at org.biojava.bio.program.sax.BlastSAXParser.parse(BlastSAXParser.java:168) at org.biojava.bio.program.sax.BlastLikeSAXParser.onNewDataSet(BlastLikeSAXParser.java:314) at org.biojava.bio.program.sax.BlastLikeSAXParser.interpret(BlastLikeSAXParser.java:276) at org.biojava.bio.program.sax.BlastLikeSAXParser.parse(BlastLikeSAXParser.java:163) at ahrd.model.BlastResult.parseBlastResults(Unknown Source) at ahrd.controller.AHRD.parseBlastResults(Unknown Source) at ahrd.controller.AHRD.setup(Unknown Source) at ahrd.controller.AHRD.main(Unknown Source)"

Any help is appreciated! Also, does anybody have suggestions for better product name generating tools?

Thanks

Hi Venky, do you solve your problem ? I am using this tool to name my proteins but the program always stop at beginning.Leave the massage : '... initialised proteins in 0sec, currently occupying 181M ' on the screen and don't go on any more . I cant find any error ....

Any help is appreciated. thank you .

Hi, did you have any luck with this? I am encountering the same problem

Did you use BLAST+ to produce the pairwise input files? (i.e. blastp)

I have found that when using blastall pairwise results (i.e. blastall -p blastp) I do not encounter this problem.
