empy directory

[ispa24]

Hi, hope someone can help me.
I have a problem with the construction of an AAI Matrix. When i run compareM, Ubuntu returns me this message "No genomes found in directory: input_AAI. Check the --file_ext flag used to identify genomes". But the files are in the directory and they are in fasta format.
How can I solve this kind of problem?

Hi. The --file_ext flag is used to indicate the file extension of your input files. For example, if they all end in ".gz" this flag should be set to "gz".

So I need to set this flag to '.fasta' that is the format of my sequences?
Can you tell me how to set the flag on a specific format? Is there a specific command?
thank you

Hi. Your input files all need to have the same file extension. For example, if they have the format my_file_1.fasta, my_file_2.fasta, ..., then you would need to set the --file_ext flag to "fasta". You do NOT need to indicate the file format. CompareM assumes the input files are FASTA files with the nucleotide sequences comprising a genome.
