  • negative_gilist with blast2.2.25

    Hi everyone,

    I want to use the option negative_gilist from blastp with the version blast2.2.25.

    I need to search a query against the swissprot database but I want to remove a set of sequences in my swissprot database. I saw that negative_gilist to restrict search of database to everything except the listed GIs . Here is my command line that I used:

    /blast-2.2.25/bin/blastp -num_alignments 100 -evalue 1 -db /db/uniprot/uniprot/uniprot_sprot.fasta -query seq.fasta -out seq.out -negative_gilist sequence.gi.txt

    *sequence.gi.txt is a GI list of the sequence that blastp doesn't have to take into account during the search.

    I obtain this error message:
    BLAST Database error: GI list specified but no ISAM file found for GI

    I searched what was the ISAM file and I found that it was additional file for the database as db.phr db.pin db.psq.... My swissprot database is formatted with formatdb with the option -o T, so it should give all the ISAM file. I noticed that I don't have the file with extensions: .pni and .pnd which seems to contain GI information.
    I can't figure it out why (I tried to reformat the database with formatdb andmakeblast_db, I can't obtain this file) but I don't know if it is why negative_gilist does not work.

    Thanks for any help!

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
