Here's how...
Code:
static void make_vertex(vertex **ver, int index, int s, int ps)
{
        ver = (vertex **)malloc(sizeof(vertex *));
        if (ver == NULL)
            exit(1);

        *ver = (vertex *)malloc(sizeof(vertex));
        if ( *ver == NULL ) {
            printf("memory allocation error\n");
            exit(1);
        }

        (*ver)->id        = index;
        (*ver)->seq       = s;
        (*ver)->pos       = ps;
        (*ver)->clique    = 0;
        (*ver)->numOfPrev = 0;
        (*ver)->numOfVer  = 0;
        (*ver)->numOfNext = 0;
        (*ver)->prev      = NULL;
        (*ver)->next      = NULL;
        (*ver)->front     = NULL;
        (*ver)->back      = NULL;
        (*ver)->left      = NULL;
        (*ver)->right     = NULL;
}

I tried this:

vertex *root;
make_vertex(&root, -1, 0, -1);

(gdb) p root
$1 = (vertex *) 0x0
(gdb) p *root
Cannot access memory at address 0x0

What's wrong?

You can do that only if you return a pointer to vertex from make_vertex...
Code:
vertex *root;
root = make_vertex(&root,-1,0,-1);

For this you need to change the definition of make_vertex to return a pointer to vertex instead of void.

Add return statement and change return type and it can work.

But it still fails after generating many vertices. Notice where failure occurs

This seems to be a general problem.

Thanks for all your help

Tried to use make_vertex. It can change memory in this way. A new trouble takes place. Allocation really gives unexpected problems.

First, if you're going to overwrite the original contents of the pointer you pass it, why bother passing in its address in the first place?

Code:
static vertex* make_vertex( int index, int s, int ps )
{
    vertex *ver;
    ver = ( vertex * ) calloc( sizeof( vertex ) );
    if ( NULL != ver )
    {
        ver->id = index;
        ver->seq = s;
        ver->pos = ps;
    }
    return( ver );
}

If THAT blows up, your heap is getting corrupted before you even make the call to make_vertex().

I change make_vertex as you showed. It appears to work well. But dataset is destructed. This also gives troubles since it is what the code works on

dataset[4] has a different address after a call to make_vertex
_______________________________________________________________
(gdb) p dataset[4]
$1 = 0x8b91a30 "GCTGAATGA"
(gdb) n
(gdb) p dataset[4]
$2 = 0x792a90 "\210*y"

Here, dataset is an array of pointers to sequence. It is desctructed by the call to make_vertex.

Can we use some technique to protect this array(data)?
