PoreC and trio run together

[KANGYUlab]

Hi,
when I run verkko v2.2.1 :
verkko -d verkko2.2.1 --hifi hifi_reads.fa.gz --nano nano.fq.gz --hap-kmers m.hapmer.meryl p.hapmer.meryl trio --porec poreC.fastq
report:
"Both --hic1/--hic2 or --porec cannot be specified at the same time as trio information, please only specify ont"
PoreC and trio cannot work at the same time in verkko v2.2.1, is it right ?

It was never supported and would crash if ran that way. Verkko 2.2.1 just explicitly forbids this immediately to avoid crashing later. It is possible to chain together a trio run followed by Pore-C for scaffolding manually but doing that requires copying/symlinking the internals of verkko's output and so isn't generally recommended. I'd suggest instead using Pore-C and then using the trio to sort the haplotypes at the end and use it for validation.

I'm going to close this since this is the expected functionality and we do not currently allow mixing Hi-C + trio data for a run. We have a separate feature request issue (#193) to track allowing this combination in the future.
