Aaron, I was in a hurry and ran Mauve with some DNASTAR format .seq files without converting them to .fas or .gbk first. The alignment seems to have run fine, so the files were correctly recognized, but the display did not load. Here is part of the console log:
OS name is: Windows 7 arch: amd64 Executing: win64\progressiveMauve --output=C:\Users\plunkettg\Documents\Assemblies\RS218\testing --output-guide-tree=C:\Users\plunkettg\Documents\Assemblies\RS218\testing.guide_tree --backbone-output=C:\Users\plunkettg\Documents\Assemblies\RS218\testing.backbone C:\Users\plunkettg\Documents\Assemblies\RS218\missing-in-454.seq C:\Users\plunkettg\Documents\Assemblies\RS218\RS218_v20-chromosome.seq Storing raw sequence at C:\Users\PLUNKE~1\AppData\Local\Temp\raw6EBA.tmp Sequence loaded successfully.

[omitted for brevity] ... done. root alignment has 1 superintervals root alignment length: 5089232 Organisms have 50.6% GC Completed without error. Exception in thread "Thread-8" java.lang.RuntimeException: Unexpected format: DNAstar at org.gel.mauve.format.SupportedFormatFactory.formatNameToFormat(Unknown Source) at org.gel.mauve.GenomeBuilder.buildGenome(Unknown Source) at org.gel.mauve.XmfaViewerModel.init(Unknown Source) at org.gel.mauve.XmfaViewerModel.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.gel.mauve.ModelBuilder.buildModel(Unknown Source) at org.gel.mauve.gui.FrameLoader.loadFile(Unknown Source) at org.gel.mauve.gui.FrameLoader.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) If I try loading the alignment file, I get the last part of the above (from Exception in thread). The actual alignment file notes that the files are in the DNAstar format: #FormatVersion Mauve1 #Sequence1File C:\Users\plunkettg\Documents\Assemblies\RS218\missing-in-454.seq #Sequence1Format DNAstar #Annotation1File C:\Users\plunkettg\Documents\Assemblies\RS218\missing-in-454.seq #Annotation1Format DNAstar #Sequence2File C:\Users\plunkettg\Documents\Assemblies\RS218\RS218_v20-chromosome.seq #Sequence2Format DNAstar #Annotation2File C:\Users\plunkettg\Documents\Assemblies\RS218\RS218_v20-chromosome.seq #Annotation2Format DNAstar #BackboneFile C:\Users\plunkettg\Documents\Assemblies\RS218\testing.bbcols > 1:1-10138 + C:\Users\plunkettg\Documents\Assemblies\RS218\missing-in-454.seq ==== So my question is, if the alignment engine can recognize and deal with DNASTAR format sequences, how hard would it be to have the display engine read them as well? Partial disclaimer: I do work for DNASTAR now, but this question is not for them.
