  • Making local Database

    Hello,

    I am making my own database out of fasta files and need help on how to re-format my command line when creating these databases.

    makeblastdb -in test.fasta -dbtype nucl -parse_seqids -out testDB

    The file type outputs that I receive currently when I run it is :
    testDB.nhr
    testDB.nin
    testDB.nog
    testDB.nsd
    testDB.nsi
    testDB.nsq

    What I need is a .nal file to run blast from the error I am receiving. Now do I get a .nal file when I combine multiple databases? I have run blast on a few files and have a couple of folders with all of them organized into it.
    How do I combine databases to get one large one with a _____.nal file type?

    Use the blastdb_aliastool. Help available at this page.

        Sounds like here the question is about combining two (or more) separate databases into one alias (if that is what @rvgill meant to ask).

          In which case its a near duplicate of @rvgill's third thread http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72192

            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...

            Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
            by seqadmin


            Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
