ERROR: BAD BASE: E AT POSITION...

[Luke Welton]

Greetings all,

This is my first effort with Migrate-n. I've got a dataset with 25 individuals, 5 populations, and 1659 loci. I had success running the program on a trimmed down, 5-locus dataset but when I try to run the full dataset I get the following error:

ERROR: BAD BASE: E AT POSITION  1079 OF INDIVIDUUM   1 in POPULATION 1

SEVERE ERROR: Segmentation fault

              this results in an non recoverable crash.

              But check the datatype and your infile for errors, too.

The first locus is only 840 bases long, and I can't seem to find the problem.

I'll attach just the first few lines of my input file for references.

Thanks in advance,

-Luke

My apologies for the double post. I wasn't sure if the original went through.

Hi,

  Perhaps too late but I had the same problem and I could solve.

   In my case was just change whitespace to tab between  name of individuum and data. 

best regards

changing the whitespace of the individual name is possible but is not the recommended way how to deal with this,

an individual name including blank spaces can only be 10 characters long, well, there _must_ be 10 characters

I usually write names in difficult cases as 10 explicit characters and then add another blank space to separate the sequence:

ind1______ ATTACAG

ind2______ ATTACAG

I also suggest NOT to use any ‘funny’ characters, accents. Migrate cannot deal with fancy UTF encoding. Most common errors are counting errors: not the correct number of individuals, loci, length of sequence.
