When running the pipeline my run failed after about two minutes at rule align. The error message in logs/align_local-data.txt is “Error: when running the pipeline: Fasta stream: stream reached an invalid state which should not be reached”. I am using the fasta file downloaded from GISAID under the Genomic Epi download section.
Is this an indication that the fasta file is corrupted?
what version of augur and the workflow are you using. The error you are getting is from nextalign, but the problem might be caused by an upstream script (sanitize_sequences.py) that might fail when you are not using the latest augur version. this problem showed up in one of our workflows.
