"Marker protein search failed!" error after execution

[alex-trist]

Describe the bug Hi, I am using platon version 1.7 installed through mamba. As input I am using draft assmblies obtained from bacterial whole genome sequencing (enterobacteria, mainly klebsiella) with Illumina. My issues are:

1. What is the required length of the contigs? One of the assemblies has 170 contigs; however, 56 are analyzed based on their size.
2. Using any of the assemblies, the result is always "Marker protein search failed!" The error that appears in the log file is: ERROR - MAIN - diamond execution failed! diamond-error-code=-11.

Any hint on how to fix it?

Best regards.

Therefore, please provide us with at least the following information:

• what exactly happened

"Marker protein search failed!" error after execution

• what exact command was executed: just copy-paste the command line

platon --db ../Data_Bases/db_platon/ --prefix --output platon/ --verbose --threads 8 contigs/KP882418.fasta

• what installation of Platon did you use: BioConda, GitHub, Pip

BioConda (mamba)

• which version of Platon was used
