    Blastn cannot open .nin files

    I am having problems with my standalone blast databases.
    I have made them in the past and they have worked however now when I try to blastn against them i get a warning such that:
    [blastall] WARNING: Unable to open ATGTCA1db.00.nin
    [blastall] WARNING: Unable to open ATGTCA1db.00.nin
    [blastall] WARNING: Unable to open ATGTCA1db.00.nin
    [blastall] WARNING: Unable to open ATGTCA1db.00.nin
    [blastall] WARNING: Unable to open ATGTCA1db.01.nin
    [blastall] WARNING: Unable to open ATGTCA1db.01.nin
    [blastall] WARNING: Unable to open ATGTCA1db.01.nin
    [blastall] WARNING: Unable to open ATGTCA1db.01.nin
    [blastall] WARNING: Unable to open ATGTCA1db.02.nin
    [blastall] WARNING: Unable to open ATGTCA1db.02.nin
    [blastall] WARNING: Unable to open ATGTCA1db.02.nin
    [blastall] WARNING: Unable to open ATGTCA1db.02.nin
    etc.


    When I look at the out put of creating the databast it has been made correctly as far as I can tell:
    New DB name: BlastLib/ATGTCA1db
    New DB title: ATGTCA1.fasta
    Sequence type: Nucleotide
    Keep Linkouts: T
    Keep MBits: T
    Maximum file size: 1073741824B
    Adding sequences from FASTA; added 40083681 sequences in 6226.41 seconds.


    and the code I'm using to blast againt the file is:
    blastall -p blastn -i LuciMatch -d /iob_home/dwhlab/behrimg/SarahHiSeq/ATGTCA1/BlastLib/ATGTCA1db -o ./BlastResults/ATG_Luc_Elong


    I dont really know what is going wrong. Any help would be appreciated I'm getting very frustrated.

    I would check that the path to the "BlastLib" directory is correct and those .nin files are there and have those exact names.

    If its neither of those, maybe you need to change permissions?

      Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
      by SEQadmin2


      Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

      The systematic characterization of the human proteome has      ...

      Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
      by SEQadmin2



      Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

      Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
      by SEQadmin2



      Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

      There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...
