error

[Renato Souza]

Dear Beast Users,

I keep receiving the following error message: Number of taxa doesn't match NTAXA field

Any suggestions how to correct this error?

sincerily yours,

Renato Souza

Dear Renato,

How are you generating the NEXUS file (what software)? Have you edited it manually (i.e., removed a sequence without changing the NTAXA field)? Do your taxon names have non-alphanumeric characters in them (spaces, punctuation, etc.)?

Dear Beast Users,

 

    Oh, I've been having the exactly same error problem with Renato Souza! I want to know the reason quickly, so I can do my Star BEAST analysis right away. Many thanks.

 

Kind regards,

Sophia

Dear Renato and Sophia,

If you edited the XML file generated by beauty and modified it, i.e. deleting or adding one or more sequences without modifying the number of sequences (taxa) indicated at the beginning of the file, then you receive this error and beast does not work.

I hope this will help.

Dear Begona,

 

     Thanks a lot for your comments on my question. As a matter of fact, I had solved my XML file generation matter in BEAUti right away by changing the saving format in MEGA 5.0 program. I mean that the MEGA program has various options to save aligned sequences, and if you save them as .fas (fasta) format rather than recommended .nex (Nexus of PAUP format), then you can bring up the sequences in BEAUti program. So I believe Prof. Andrew Rambaut's comment was right the other day in reply to Renato's question.Of course, I've done full BEAST anlyses and got divergence time and evolutionary rates previously. If I am incorrect on doing this way, please let me know about it anyone, please.
