ValueError: Duplicate key (while no duplicated ids in input)

[art-egorov]

• pharokka version:1.7.3
• Python version:3.10.14
• Operating System: linux

Description

Hi!

When running pharokka on meta mode it returns a funky error about duplication of key which looks like contig id. The problem that it fails only on subset of sequences (for most runs it is ok), moreover, reported duplicated key is not present in the list of input files..

What I Did

Command:

pharokka.py -i FAILED_SEQS.fa  -o pharokka_batches/ALL_SEQS  --meta --split -t 45 --skip_mash --dnaapler  --database pharokka/pharokka_v1.4.0_databases

logs:

(pharokka_env) [aegorov@cn001 Phages]$ 

seems like it adds some suffix numbers for prodigal which then overlaps with other contigs?

pharokka_batches/ALL_SEQS/prodigal-gv_aas_tmp.fasta:>TemPhD_cluster_4683480 1299_2654
pharokka_batches/ALL_SEQS/prodigal-gv_aas_tmp.fasta:>TemPhD_cluster_4683480 1_1272

Because in fasta file i have the following, for instance:

pharokka_env) [aegorov@cn001 Phages]$ grep "4683" FAILED_SEQS.fa 
>TemPhD_cluster_46833
>TemPhD_cluster_46834
>TemPhD_cluster_46835
>TemPhD_cluster_46836
>TemPhD_cluster_46837
>TemPhD_cluster_46838
>TemPhD_cluster_46839
>TemPhD_cluster_4683

Anyway, is there anything to do to fix such exceptions? Thanks in advance

Best, Artyom

small upd: you can avoid the error by adding non-number suffix to contig id, but still.. would be nice to be able to run on any unique set

I fully agree @art-egorov - the issue is with phanotate that makes the output hard to parse and I didn't know a smarter way back when I coded pharokka originally.

When I have some dev time, I'll try and think of a better solution.
