[maker-devel] maker problem with running blast

[Carson Holt]

Your blast_type parameter in maker_bopts.ctl is set to 'wublast' but the
executables for wublast are blank in maker_exe.ctl.

See, they’re blank —>
xdformat=#location of WUBLAST xdformat executable
blasta=#location of WUBLAST blasta executable



You either need to provide executables or set your blast_type parameter to
something else. For example, you could set it to 'NCBI+', but you will nee
to fix the location of makeblastdb.

makeblastdb is set incorrectly here—>
makeblastdb=/home/AAFC-AAC/borhanh/bin/ncbi-blast-2.2.29+ #location of
NCBI+ makeblastdb executable



Alternativley you can set blast_type to 'NCBI', but you will need to
uncomment the executables.

Here—>
formatdb=#/usr/local/bin/formatdb #location of NCBI formatdb executable
blastall=#/usr/local/bin/blastall #location of NCBI blastall executable
