Hi Matt,

Why in my Chdb.csv, the column - "# predicted genes" is -1?

Hi Bing,

dRep calls genes on its own using Prodigal and then provides those genes to checkM. I guess checkM reports the number of genes as -1 when you do this.

Hi Matt,

Can I directly know how many predicted genes in each MAG from the drep output file as shown in the screenshot?

Hi Bing,

You'll have to calculate this information manually. In the data/prodigal folder you should see the gene files for each genome. You could could the number of genes in each file using a program for that purpose or a linux command like cat file | grep '>' | wc -l

Thank you very much for your reply, Matt.

I just calculated the prodigal-predicted genes in my MAGs as you suggest.

Best,

Bing
