error parsing input tree

[Renato Souza]

Dear Beast users,

After running a discrete phylogeographic analysis of 257 rotavirus
sequences, I've got a log file that is at first look ok (ESS between
300-600 to most parameters) but when trying to run the Tree Annotator
I've got the following error message:

Error Parsing Input Tree: Number of taxa doesn't match NTAXA field

Any suggestions how to fix it? It's the first I[ve this error message

sincerily yours,

It it probably quite late to give solution, but this group is actually great for searching errors one encounter, so:

I encountered this error. After closer look at the taxa list of tree (with follow help of VIM and coloring code), I have found the error.
In two names of my sequences, there was already   '   (Cote d'Ivoire). Because BEAST found special symbols, he automatically enclosed in with 'something'
But as there was already ', parsing error. After remowing the ' in the name (as the full names are substituted with numbers, it is sufficient to just change it in taxa lists), everything went nice.


For anyone who would encounter the error: look at your taxa names.

Your Colombo
