Hey all,

I am trying to use getfasta (bedtools v2.30.0) to extract sequences from my reference using the .bed file and getting the error:

WARNING. chromosome (ref105621_1k) was not found in the FASTA file. Skipping.

I know that this error pops up if the header in the .FASTA file does not match the chromosome name in the .BED file. But mine do match. I would even copy chromosome name from .bed and paste it into .fasta. Still get the error.

My .fasta file:

>ref105621_1k

My .bed file:

Any thoughts on how to get this working? Thanks in advance!
