Error on the example input "AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'keys'"

[zy041225]

Hi,

When I'm trying to test the code with the example data in the "Phylo-HMRF/example_input" directory with the command:
python ../phylo_hmrf.py -n 20 -r 1 --reload 0 --chromvec 21,22 --miter 100 ./

I got the following error messages:

Could you help look into it?

Besides, I'm planning to use the software to investigate the Hi-C change in a larger range of species. However, by mapping the Hi-C reads to human (as the reference), species closed to human have a higher mapping rate and more Hi-C contact reads, while some species distant to human have lower number of them. I'm wondering whether that matters, and what's the maximum phylogenetic distance (e.g. 30 million years) do you recommend to include when using the software?

Many thanks

Best,
Yang
