  • Cannot get usearch ublast to work on nucleotide databases

    Hi Everyone,
    I am having some trouble using usearch ublast. I am trying test a database I made using:

    usearch -makeudb_ublast myFasta.fasta -output db.udb -alpha nt

    I used a sequence that should return hits, but usearch ublast says that 0.0% matched. The command I am currently using is:

    usearch -ublast query.fasta -db db.udb -strand both -evalue 1e-5 -alnout output.aln

    I have tried using different combinations of -evalue and -strand and I have double checked that I am using the command correctly.

    Also I made databases with makeblastdb, and tests for those returned the proper results when I used the same sequences as in usearch.

    I am using usearch v8.1.1861

    Can anyone figure out what I am doing wrong?

    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...
