Dear Lee,
You mention a tblastx on your reads, did you assemble these reads into contigs before running VirSorter ? VirSorter is unfortunately not able to process reads, and can only work with larger contigs (ideally 10kb and more).
Thanks a lot for your reply :) I didn't use assembled reads. I'll try again with the contigs. It seems when i assembled my reads (from Miseq V3 2*300 bp) into contigs by SPAdes, i got the contig size less than 10kb... But i'll try again :)
Thanks
Dear Roux,
I'm currently working on soil viruses and i got illumina metagenomic data from my soil samples (DNA-SIP data). The number of obtained reads is quite good (around 200, 000 - 600, 000 reads after quality filtering). I used firstly Diamond (Blastx using viral protein database uploaded from NCBI) to see if the sequences contain the viral sequences. And i found the sequences matched with some viruses. However, when i used the Virsorter (on Cyverse with ID: mia), there was no phage signal in output VIRsorter file (/iplant/home/mia/analyses/M54_20180228-2018-02-28-14-08-00.0). In Cyverse, there was no error message which means the Virsorter worked well? Do you think what is a problem ??
I tried to run also on my computer, there was an error message : Cannot find mga_linux_ia64 Error: Failed to open sequence file /Users/leesungeun/Desktop/Output_virsorter/fasta/VIRSorter_prots.fasta for reading Error: Failed to open sequence file /Users/leesungeun/Desktop/Output_virsorter/fasta/VIRSorter_prots.fasta for reading Error: Failed to open sequence file /Users/leesungeun/Desktop/Output_virsorter/fasta/VIRSorter_prots.fasta for reading Command line argument error: Argument "query".

Your help is really appreciated :) Best wishes LEE
