Hello,
I hope this command line explains what I am asking...
makeblastdb -in a.fasta -dbtype prot
head -10 a.fasta >a.part.fasta
blastx -query a.part.fasta -db ./a.fasta
I got "No hits found" .... I thought I should not see any "no hits" since I am querying a fasta file to itself.
It seems to work fine when I made it nucleotide DB and executed blastn.
Please advise,
thanks for your help and time for my stupid question.
TU
