[ensembl-dev] VEP version 73 fasta file error

[David Blaney]

Dear Developers,

I am running version 73 of the VEP script and API. I am running the script in offline mode, cache only with the HGVS option selected and a fastq file specified (see snippet from config below):

#######     cache stuff   #############
cache                                                    1
dir_plugins                                          /NGS_Tools/vep/Plugins
dir_cache                                            /ReferenceData/vep_cache
# cache_region_size       1MB
offline                                   1
# skip_db_check                              1
fasta                                                      /ReferenceData/vep_cache/homo_sapiens/73/Homo_sapiens.GRCh37.73.dna.primary_assembly.fa

when running the program I get the following warning (with trace, some line numbers may have changed in my vep script due to adding the libs for the modules):

Could you please shed some light on what is going on? I have not yet figured out if this warning has any effect on the output.

Many thanks,
David Blaney
