Web Services Blastn Problems
Hi, I've just started trying out the WSDL web services and I'm trying to implement a workflow for the NCBI Blastn web service.
I know the contigs that I want to blast are available and on the nt database however, I keep getting incorrect database errors when trying to run.
The only documentation I can find on the database abbreviations of NCBI have been less than useful, but I thought nt would be pretty straight forward.
Following this large problem, I set up an alternative by downloading the whole nt database from NCBI and ran a blastall on an AWS instance, which took over an hour and a half for a single contig.
So I'm struggling to be honest and would appreciate anyone's insight or suggestions.
thanks for reading!
