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!

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...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
