You can't run a k-mer length of 1 on MerCat2. It has to be >1.
For viruses/phages: classically you can use 2. For Bacteria/archaea: classically you can use 4.
If you looking for signature differences I would use 31 k especially for bacteria/archaea.
Paper from Forest Rohwer on this: https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1462-2920.2009.01901.x
I am going to close this. As k-mer counting of 1 isn't common. Let us know if you have further questions?
Thank you for using MerCat2
This is a ray issue. Which we have fixed. You need a manual install for now - until conda updates it. Which we will let you know. So do this.
conda remove -n mercat2 --all
cd mercat2
bash install_mercat2.sh
conda activate mercat2-1.4.1
I am trying to run mercat2 on SwissProt. In a little test invocation,
I get the below errors.
I also tried starting a Ray cluster manually by
but that gives me another error as below.
What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks, David.
