Description

Hi,

read_phy is failing for me. I manually curate with phy2. I noticed that the cluster_info.tsv has blank entries. For the original clusters (which were merged), the group is blank; and for the newly created clusters the clsuter_id is blank.

This causes phy (pandas) to fail. Is this normal ? Is my phy installation doing something silly ? If so, happy to close the issue. But I'd still be interested in whether others have experienced something similar.

Cheers

Research direction

Start at the read_phy entry point and reproduce the phy2 manual-merge case using cluster_info.tsv. Inspect how blank group and cluster_id entries are handled before the pandas failure. Done means establishing whether the blanks are expected and, if not, identifying the needed correction or documenting the behavior.
