Please specify the training reads and its reference genome! #191

Hi, I installed nanosim using conda install -c bioconda nanosim and then tried to run the read characterization using read_analysis.py transcriptome -i training_reads.fastq -rg reference_genome.fa -rt reference_transcriptome.fa -annot reference_annotation.gtf -o training. However, I get the following error: **Please specify the training reads and its reference genome! ./read_analysis.py

: -h : print usage message -i : training ONT real reads, must be fasta files -r : reference genome of the training reads -a : Aligner to be used: minimap2 or LAST, default = 'minimap2 -m : User can provide their own alignment file, with maf or sam extension, can be omitted -b : number of bins (for development), default = 20 -t : number of threads for LAST alignment, default = 1 -o : The prefix of output file, default = 'training' --no_model_fit : Skip the model fitting step** I am sure that the path to the respective files (training_reads and reference_genome) is correct. I have also tried feeding fasta files instead of fastq but still get the same error. Please help. Thanks

The command looks okay to me.

Can you report the version you are using?

python read_analysis.py -v

I am suspecting that you have installed an old version of NanoSim. The option descriptions you posted don't match those in the current version.

Hi, you are right; my conda installation somehow installed an old version of NanoSim. I proceeded to directly download the latest version (3.0) and ran the command again. It seems to be working now. Thanks a lot for reaching out.
