Hi Seb,

I was interested using the protocol outlined in:

http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0031002

I was having no such luck with the Ray amos file. I contacted the author and this was his response:

"Ray natively produce the afg file, however it is not complete. In particular it lacks all the "first" part in which reads are described. Without this information the bank cannot be constructed. If you have more than one library things get really messy!!! In order to "complete" the afg file for PLOSone paper I used the afg file from velvet. Ray is missing only the description part so it is not a problem to copy it."

I assume this relates to the issue above.

Hello,

I am able to create a bank with AMOS from a Ray AMOS file.

The implementation is based on the specification:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/amos/index.php?title=Message_Types

Maybe the protocol uses optional information in the AMOS message protocol.

[boiseb01@ls30 RayKmerSearchDevel]$ bank-transact -b MyBank -c -m
TestX/AMOS.afg
START DATE: Tue Jun 26 08:32:41 2012
Bank is: MyBank
0% 100%

I remember using Ray's afg file with this command:

bank-transact -m data.afg -b data.bnk -c

Please open a separate issue if you feel like this should be fixed in Ray.

Thanks
