I'm trying to use the GMAJ tool on Galaxy, but get this error: Error loading alignments from bundled file "input.maf": edu.psu.bx.gmaj.BadInputExceptions: Sequence length contradiction" s baboon.1 26891 63 + 1248010 TCAG... Current = 1248010. Previous = 550206 The maf files were extracted using the "Extract MAF blocks" tool, for TBA ENCODE alignments. The maf data are at http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/display?id=3054

Ross, The problem here is that there are multiple sequences with the name 'baboon.1'. In fact, in the ENCODE TBA alignments there is a different 'baboon.1' for every ENCODE region, so when you concatenate MAFs across multiple regions you get a result that GMAJ (rightly) cannot understand. To correct this I think the only thing we can do is change the MAFs provided by the encode group so that every orthologous sequence has a unique name across encode regions. So baboon.1 -> baboon.ENm001_1, and so on. All, would such a change break any existing tools / analysis? -- jt

No conflicts on my end. Actually, it would be a rather convenient (and accurate) annotation to refer to the aligned species by region. -David

This sounds like the correct solution, and I cannot think of any tools which would be broken by doing this. Dan
