    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!!

      16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
      by SEQadmin2




      NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
