Hi Charlie,
Thanks for opening this issue. Sorry you had this problem and that the error message is not more straightforward.
The first thing I'm thinking of is that your computer or compute node doesn't have enough memory, which caused minimap2 to crash. Since the marker-MAGu database is so large, it usually uses up to 66 GB of memory on our HPC.
Let me know if this seems likely. If not, I'll look into it more next week.

I'm now realizing your input file is gzipped (.gz). This is likely the issue. Please try again with your read file decompressed. In the next update I will add a check at the beginning of the program to check that the input reads are in fastq format.
Thanks for your quick reply and sorry for my slow one. Unzipping the inputs and giving 70GB of memory has it working now!
Hi all, I'm trying to use Marker-MAGu but running into the same error on multiple machines with multiple data sets.
Using version 0.4.0
Here's a snippet of the input fastq in case it's helpful
These are simulated reads which is why the quality scores are so consistent. It's also failing with a real data set.
Thanks in advance for any help, Charlie
