[khmer] cannot run the latest version of normalize-by-median.py

[cy_jiang]

Hi Titus,


I have downloaded the latest version of khmer and tried to run the normalize-by-median.py (command line:/khmer/scripts/normalize-by-median.py -k 20 -C 20 -x 7.5e9 -N 4 --savehash mh.kh T_allR1R2.py), but it prompted up with the following information:

PARAMETERS:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/work/khmer/scripts/normalize-by-median.py", line 241, in <module>
    main()
  File "/home/work/khmer/scripts/normalize-by-median.py", line 140, in main
    ' - kmer size =    {:d} \t\t(-k)'.format(args.ksize)
ValueError: zero length field name in format

This command line ran pretty well with the older version of khmer. Can you give me a clue what is going on there?


Besides, I wonder how to choose a better k-mer size. As I am going to assemble my dataset with Trinity, I am thinking would it be better using a k-mer value of 25 since Trinity set this default k-mer size when it does the assembly. 


Hope to hear from you soon and thanks in advance!


Cheers,
Daniel
