    Makeblastdb error: file does not exist.

    I just downloaded the blast command line applications and I would like to make a database of a MGEs nucleutides that i downloaded from ACLAME database site in fasta file. It is labeled as mydb.fasta and I have put the file into a bin folder of blast in the path C:\Program Files\NCBI\blast-2.12.0+\bin

    Ive been typing this into the command line:

    cd C:\Program Files\NCBI\blast-2.12.0+\bin to enter in directory

    makeblastdb -in mydb.fasta -dbtype nucl -out DB

    Building a new DB, current time: 09/23/2021 13:48:15 New DB name: C:\Program Files\NCBI\blast-2.12.0+\bin\DB New DB title: mydb.fasta Sequence type: Nucleotide Keep MBits: T Maximum file size: 1000000000B BLAST options error: File mydb.fasta does not exist

    every time i got this error file does not exist. It is probably a simple problem to solve, but I cannot seem to get past it.

    Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
    by SEQadmin2



    Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

    Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
    by SEQadmin2



    Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

    There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

    Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by GATTACAT
    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
