We’ve noticed that many issues in PPanGGOLiN are caused by non-ASCII characters in the product field of CDS annotations. This often happens with genomes annotated by Bakta, where some COG annotations include these characters (check out the related Bakta issue here).
Problem
The HDF5 tables used by PPanGGOLiN can’t handle non-ASCII characters. When these characters show up in the product field, they cause confusing errors and failures in the tool.
Implemented Solution
This PR fixes the problem by automatically checking for non-ASCII characters in the product field and replacing them with underscores (_). This change will help PPanGGOLiN run smoothly without errors related to non-ASCII characters.
