Describe the issue

I am running RepeatModeler v.2.0.5 and saw a warning sign like the following:

the run continues to several rounds now but consensi.fa within the main RM folder file remains empty, although consensi.fa file inside round-1 folder contained sequences.

Reproduction steps

My genome is available here, but I have a slightly revised version of it. I run RepeatModeler with the following command:

${RMOD}/BuildDatabase -name poeMon1 poeMon1.fa
${RMOD}/RepeatModeler -LTRStruct -threads 4 -database poeMon1 2>&1 | tee 00_repeatmodeler.log

Log output

I attached here the log files for the RepeatModeler run and for the first round:
rmod.log
repeatscout.log
makeblastdb.log
filter-stage-1.log

Note that the repeatscout log is empty.

Environment:

I installed RepeatModeler v.2.0.5 according to the website instructions, with the following dependencies: TRF 4.09, RECON , RepeatScout 1.0.6, RepeatMasker 4.1.6. I am running RepeatModeler using cluster environment. I also downloaded the Dfam database and copy them inside the famdb folder:

wget https://www.dfam.org/releases/Dfam_3.8/families/FamDB/dfam38_full.0.h5.gz
gunzip dfam38_full.0.h5.gz

Any help to solve this would be appreciated! Thanks!

Best,
Rifa

Could you provide a link to the revised version of the assembly you are using? If not, then it would help to see an example of one of the families that Refiner could not process. E.g: /dss/dsslegfs01/pr53da/pr53da-dss-0026/projects/2023__Pmon_pop_gen/0__repeatmasking/RM_25614.FriJul121538512024/round-1/family-73.fa

I'm having the same problem as Athena Syarifa.
This is the version of the assembly I'm using:

I run RepeatModeler with the following command:

RepeatModeler -threads 32 -database Hhn_Chr2_DB -engine ncbi -LTRStruct

Have you found a solution now?
Thanks!

Hi @rmhubley thanks for getting back to me!

I might be able to send you the link to the genome via email since it's not public yet. Can you give me your email? Otherwise, I attached here the files of some of the families refiner couldn't process.
families.tar.gz

Best,
Rifa

@athenasyarifa, I tried running a few of those families through my copy of Refiner and they work fine. I suspect this is a configuration issue related to both installations of RepeatModeler.

Would you both try running Refiner by hand to see if you get an error message:

for @athenasyarifa

% <path_to_repeatmodeler>/Refiner /dss/dsslegfs01/pr53da/pr53da-dss-0026/projects/2023__Pmon_pop_gen/0__repeatmasking/RM_25614.FriJul121538512024/round-1/family-73.fa

and @Whitney110

Hi @rmhubley,Thanks for your reply!
I ran Refiner by hand as suggested by the command you provided,and it is seems to work fine like following:

[luguohui03@login RepeatModeler]$ Refiner /data3/home/luguohui03/hhp/Repeat/Hhn_repeat/RM_65159.SunJul71911502024/round-2/family-40.fa

  - Avg Kimura Divergence = 0.00
  - Unaligned sequences = 0 ( orig = 0 )

What configuration issue do you suspect is? Thanks!

Hi both @rmhubley and Whitney

I have the following error message when I tried running Refiner by hand according to your instructions:

NCBIBlastSearchEngine::search: Error...compressed subject database (/dss/dsslegfs01/pr53da/pr53da-dss-0026/projects/2023__Pmon_pop_gen/0__repeatmasking/RM_25614.FriJul121538512024/round-1/family-73.fa) does not exist!

Is it a database or makeblastdb problem then? But I didn't find anything wrong in the makeblastdb.log. Let me know what you think!

Thanks!
Rifa

@Whitney110 - That is the expected output of Refiner. Could you now check that you have a new file: /data3/home/luguohui03/hhp/Repeat/Hhn_repeat/RM_65159.SunJul71911502024/round-2/family-40.fa.refiner_cons and that it constains a single FASTA sequence?

@athenasyarifa - Hmm. Could you check that the original file exists and is not empty?: /data3/home/luguohui03/hhp/Repeat/Hhn_repeat/RM_65159.SunJul71911502024/round-2/family-40.fa

Hi @rmhubley
Yes the file is not empty, see below:

Hi @rmhubley
Yesterday, I realized that I have not given the appropriate permission (chmod +x) for Refiner or other tools inside the RepeatModeler folder. I might have run the command you told me in a different folder so that might be why it didn't work.

However, now that I run chmod +x for Refiner and other tools inside RepeatModeler, and run RepeatModeler again, it seems to be working! This is how the log file looks so far:

I am so sorry about this 😆, such a simple mistake, I imagine you took the time to help me for nothing 😢

@Whitney110 Could this also be the solution for you? Good luck!

Best,
Rifa

Hi @athenasyarifa,Thank you for your reminding, I checked my RepeatModeler folder also has an issue with execution permissions, I run chmod +x for all the tools in the RepeatModeler and now it works fine.

@rmhubley @athenasyarifa Thank you again!

Best,
Whitney

@Whitney110 Glad to know it's working now! I will close this issue.
