OK. That is the latest release, good.
How did you install BLAST 2.9.0 on Windows 64? Was it using ncbi-blast-2.9.0+-win64.exe or ncbi-blast-2.9.0+-x64-win64.tar.gz (which one) from the NCBI FTP site?
If so, I suggest you email the BLAST help team with your reproducible example.
In the meantime, do you have access to a Mac or Linux machine to try the same example there? Or, if not any you are in a hurry, you could try an older BLAST release (in case this is a recent problem - this would also help in identifying the underlying problem for the NCBI to fix it).

A core dump is bad - either a bug the NCBI BLAST team would want to fix, or a problem in how it was compiled and installed. Did you use the NCBI provided pre-compiled binaries? Did you use conda? Did you use a Linux distribution's packages? Did you compile it yourself?
Another key question, which version of BLAST are you using; and what operating system?Leave a comment:

Cmd line psi-blast help
Hello, I am needing some help with a dilemma I am having with cmd line psi-blast.
I set it to run ten iterations but it core dumps on me, the query sequence is correct and I have all the correct pathways as well as nr databases into my drive. It was suggested to tighten the search settings to increase the stringency. Is there a way to do this?
Also, how do you advise that I access any core dumped files?
Last but certainly not least, is there a cmd line syntax to run a PSI-BLAST using a PSSM generated from the first five iterations of a PSI-BLAST from an initial query sequence?
I'm new at this and could really use the help, thank you!

CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).
Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM -
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...07-20-2026, 11:48 AM
