Possible Duplicate:make a custom BLAST library using the output of another blast result
Hello,
I would like to create a BLAST database using as input a file generated after executing a BLAST query.
I first query a fasta file which contains a nucleotide sequence using the
blastn command, saving the result in a text file.
Next, I try to create a database using the
makeblastdb, specifying as input parameter the text file generated after executing the query.
Unfortunately, I get the following error:
BLAST options error: Input format not supported (unknown format). Use
-input_type to specify the input type being used.
I try to execute the query in the first step using the
-outfmt argument, saving the query results in XML, text ASN.1, binary ASN.1. When I try to create the database specifying in the
input_type the 'asn1_bin', 'asn1_txt' and 'xml' respectively, I get the following error:
Error: NCBI C++ Exception:
