  • makeblastdb is making multiple sets of files, how can I fix it?

    Hello!

    I just realized I should have posted this to this forum, so here it is again, sorry!

    I am a graduate student at UC Berkeley currently working with raw reads of several transcriptomes in an attempt to find and assemble reads that match a couple of genes I'm studying. This site has already been very useful to me (Thank you!!!!), but I haven't found any answers pertaining to my current problem.

    I was hoping I could get some help with a BLAST problem I'm having. I am working with standalone blast, and am building blast databases from fasta files of transcriptome raw reads. I have successfully used the command:

    makeblastdb -in COST_1_final.fasta -input_type fasta -dbtype nucl -out COST_1_final for several fasta files of raw reads (with varying names of course) but a few of the files result in multiple sets of database files, marked for example <filename>.00.nhr and <filename>.01.nhr with what I believe is an alias file <filename>.nal

    The command as it runs give the usual message:
    Building a new DB, current time: 10/15/2015 10:49:55
    New DB name: COST_u_final
    New DB title: COST_u_final.fasta
    Sequence type: Nucleotide
    Keep Linkouts: T
    Keep MBits: T
    Maximum file size: 1000000000B
    Adding sequences from FASTA; added 16313457 sequences in 937.429 seconds.

    but then results in multiple sets of files.

    Any ideas about how I can make just one set of database files, as has successfully happened with the rest of my fasta files? I would really appreciate 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 on Modified Bases...

      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...
