Could the barrnap be used to predict the rrna of *.fna.gz file?

Dear administrator,

Could the barrnap be used to predict the rrna of *.fna.gz file?

I applied it on a *.fna.gz file, and the system reported the error:

Thanks!

Hi Yulin,
not sure if barrnap can handle compressed fastas ("fna.gz" means gzip compressed fasta). But even if not, you can just pipe the data to it.
try using the following command:

zcat genome/GCF_002287175.1_ASM228717v1_geomic.fna.gz | barnap -

if you still get the same error with this, then i would guess perhaps something is simply wrong with your sequence file, and you may need to try downloading it again ...
