No input genome detected, program exited! using costumized grouping

[jesusbvf]

I tried MetaCHIP with five samples. I have the bins in a single folder BRbins, and customized grouping like this
RC_V,RC_V.bin.7
RC_V,RC_V.bin.8
RC_V,RC_V.bin.9
RC_VI,RC_VI.bin.10
RC_VI,RC_VI.bin.11 ...
...

The bins are in fasta format, but when i try the first step, using this command:
MetaCHIP PI -p Bioreactor -g customized_grouping2.txt -t 12 -i BRbins -x fasta
it sends this message:
No input genome detected, program exited!
and NOTHING MORE!!

When I tried the example it ran well and gives the plots, but not with my bins

Could you help me please?

Hi there,

I doubt the exact suffix you named is not fasta. You can try to examine the situation by using fa as an alternative argument of the option -x.

Best.
