Hi,

I am getting this error on job submission. it is just a subset of the error. Not all files gives me this error. How to resolve this?

Hello,

This looks like an input formatting problem.

  1. Make sure the input is nucleotide content and not protein (amino acids).
  2. Check the fasta content for non-ATCGN content. IUPAC characters will cause problems.
  3. Ensure the datatype assigned is correct. Note that fastqsanger, fastq, fasta, fastqsanger.gz, fastq.gz, fasta.gz are all distinct datatypes - and must match the input datatype compression (if used).

Thanks! Jen, Galaxy team
