Hi all, I'm currently using standard alone blast, the version is ncbi-blast-2.2.25+. I tried to made xml format blast result for my downstream analysis, but I had some problems in generating it.
The command I use is:
"blastx -query shorttest -db ~/blastdb/nr -evalue 1e-3 -max_target_seqs 20 -num_threads 24 -outfmt 5 > t.xml"
The command keeps running but nothing has been written to t.xml, and if I use other output format like default, or -outfmt 6, it will print out the correct result.
Thanks very much!
EDIT:
Yes it's transcriptome data, and I was trying to annotate the whole transcriptome through blast2go, and the first step I need to do is doing blastx against nr database.
I understand there might be stream for blastx, but I can wait for 24 hours and get nothing from it, while if I use other option like "-outfmt 6" I can get results in minutes, so it's likely stream is not the issue.
And I tried to use a small query against nr database, or keep the same query but against small local database, both gives me results, so I'm not sure whether it's the bulky size of both query and database and the format that cause the problems, thanks very much!
EDIT2:
thanks~ My doubt about the xml format is that it waits until everything finishes and then print out the results, since it has tags from the start and end, since my files are too big that they can't finish in one day, which is the time quote for our single job on the server, and as a ...
