MinKNOW version impatibility

[shengqh]

Based on introduction, I updated the flow_cells.toml and copied the sequencing_MIN106_RNA_short.toml to /opt/ont/minknow/conf/package. However, my MinKNOW didn't recognize the sequencing_MIN106_RNA_short.toml with error message "Cannot be parsed correctly - MinKNOW version imcompatibility". My MinION is MC-114223 and MinKNOW version is 23.04.5 (bionic). There are a lot of difference between system sequencing_MIN106_RNA.toml and your sequencing_MIN106_RNA_short.toml. The system sequencing_MIN106_RNA.toml file attached. Would you please let me know how to modify the sequencing_MIN106_RNA_short.toml to make it compatible with my MinKNOW? Thank you so much.

sequencing_MIN106_RNA.toml.txt

Hi @shengqh , the config files are compatible with MinKNOW v22.03 and likely also with v22.05 (info here https://github.com/novoalab/Nano-tRNAseq/releases).

In order to make it compatible with newer versions, you'll need to copy the default config sequencing_MIN106_RNA.toml as sequencing_MIN106_RNA_short.toml and change 3 lines:

• flow_cells = ["FLO-MIN106_short", "FLO-FLG001_short"]
• "adapter= (median_before,gt,160)&(median_before,lt,280)&(local_range,gt,5)&(local_range,lt,50)&(local_median,gt,50)&(local_median,lt,120)&(local_median_sd,gt,0.5)&(local_median_sd,lt,2.5)&(duration,lt,2)",
• "strand= (local_range,gt,25)&(local_range,lt,60)&(local_median,gt,60)&(local_median,lt,115)&(local_median_sd,gt,1)&(local_median_sd,lt,4)&(duration,gt,1)",

Please create pull request with new config files stating which MinKNOW version they are compatible with.

Hope it helps,
Leszek

I am also having similar issues. Can you please upgrade both the files for current minKnow version.

Hi @vetmohit89 , I'm not going to upgrade the config. You can generate config compatible with your version of MinKNOW by following instructions above. I'll leave this issue open for visibility.
