Is pod5_to_fast5
a directory?
Canu will only accept FASTA or FASTQ files (gz, bz2 or xz compressed).
It is a directory yes, I have a large number of fast5 files (the output from my ONT run). I am currently running a python script to attempt to merge these into one file that I can give to canu
You can't provide fast5 files as input to canu, it can only read fasta or fastq (gz/bz2/xz compression is ok). Multiple files as input is also OK, provided they don't exceed the command line length. You have to convert your fast5 files to fasta/q before running canu.
Thank you! Just to follow up, using the merged files and using fastq instead of fastq.gz I was able to run Canu.
I am trying to run Canu to assemble some nanopore reads. I have attempted some fixes from other threads but I am a little stumped on how to resolve this. Does anyone have any suggestions? Command:
