error (core dumped)

Hi,

I use minimap to do an assembly with miniasm.
When I launch the command :
minimap -Sw5 -L100 -m0 reads.fa reads.fa | gzip -1 > reads.paf.gz

I get the following error :
minimap: sketch.c:59: mm_sketch: Assertion `len > 0 && w > 0 && k > 0' failed.
Abandon (core dumped)

Would you have any idea where it comes from? What could be wrong with my data?

Thanks,

Guillaume

You have a zero-length sequence in either your input fastq/a or assembly
