-w command for summary statistic returns error

[MajaCN]

Hi,

I have been able to run prodigal successfully and generate the gene coordinate, protein translation and nucleotide files. When trying to run the -w option for the summary statistics file my code runs an error though: "unknown option" (nothing more). I am using Prodigal version 2.6.3 on a Linux64 machine.

My code looks like this:

prodigal -i inputfile.fa -o ${output}/${name}_prodigal.gbk -a ${output}/${name}_protein.translation.fsa -d ${output}/${name}_mrna.fsa -w ${output}/${name}_summary.txt -p meta

Any help would be much appreciated.

I also get the same problem. It seems that this parameter cannot be used. How did you solve this problem?

Hi,

I ended up leaving the "-w" command out in the end, I could not get it to work unfortunately.

I have already checked the Wiki, it seems that this parameter has been deprecated.
