Ragtag scaffold inserted a uracil.

Open faulk-lab opened this issue 1 month ago • 1 comments

Very strange error. I ran ragtag scaffold using a published genome (GWHETLT00000000.1) and my own assembly. Neither assembly has any "U" bases within them. Somehow, ragtag scaffold generated a Uracil in the resulting output. Only a single U was inserted into the middle of a 2.1 Gb scaffolded ragtag.scaffold.fa file. I am at a loss to explain how this happened and now I don't trust the output.

There's also an @ in it?!
