"Marker protein search failed!" error after execution about platon HOT 9 OPEN

Hi,

I was running into the same issue, even when requesting 20GB of memory to run it. For me, the fix was to install diamond 2.0.6 via conda, using the following command: conda install bioconda::diamond=2.0.6 --yes.

Hope it helps.

Cheers,

from platon.

Hi @alex-trist Did you find solution for this problem?

Hi @alex-trist Did you find solution for this problem?

Hi @TranNhatTan14 , no, not yet.

I made some of the analysis with MOB, but I would like to try Platon.

Any sugestions?

from platon.

Hi and thanks for reaching out. Let me start with the question about contig lengths:
Platon works on the detection and evaluation of so called marker proteins upon which a so called replicon distribution score is computed. As short contigs barely encode any CDS and thus no marker proteins, they cannot be used for Platons approach and thus, are skipped upfront. However, they also make up only a tiny fraction of potential plasmids, so in most cases this should be neglectable.

Regarding the Diamond error. This seems to be a Diamond related bug. Very often, this is caused by too little memory resources. Could you try to execute Platon on a machine with ~16 GB memory?

from platon.

Thanks! @oschwengers

Indeed I executed Platon on a 16GB machine; however, I've experienced memory related issues with DIAMOND in the past, so I'll try in a more powerfull machine and get back to you.

Regards.

Hi @oschwengers ！I have met the same problem, do you have any other solution？

Thank you! I used the command and occurred the wrong
ERROR: Wrong diamond version installed. Please, install diamond version v2.0.14!
Then I try this and it run!

Hi all and thanks for reporting!

There is a known bug in Diamond v2.1.9 which is reported upstream: bbuchfink/diamond#785

Currently, downgrading to v2.1.8 should do the trick until there is an official patch for Diamond.
