Empty results #12

Hello @lee212 ,

I've tried to test this tool on some sample input, but didn't achieve positive results (empty ltr.out and ltr.gff3 without any records):

Here is output:

(mgescan)[maybelinot@**** mgescan]$ mgescan ltr ./input_slice_chr6/
MGEScan environment variable is not defined or .mgescanrc is not sourced.
/home/maybelinot/mgescan3 (default path) is used to run MGEScan

input_slice_chr6 folder contains one .fasta file with part of chr6(62,700,001-69,200,000) of GRCh38/hg38, which definitely have LTRs. Probably I have missed some steps via installation(matcher, transeq) not listed in README . Could you help me with this issue?

EMBOSS is missing on your machine according to your 'matcher' and 'transeq' error messages. If you use Ubuntu, you can install it like: sudo apt-get install emboss -y Let me know if you have any further questions.

@lee212, thanks for pointing, missed this step via installation. Works fine now!

I have another one question.. Is there option to predict family of putative LTRs element(Ty3/Gypsy, Bel/Pao, Ty1/Copia for example)?
