I'm using fastal recently, it's really easy to use and fast
however, there are many times when I use large fastq query file, such as 32 GB. At the beginning, I have to wait 40 min until multi-thread start to be functional, then for the next 2 hours, it looks all good. But after the process ended, no output was given, so wired
Sometimes this happen, sometimes don't, so frustrating. So I have to split my query into small file, then all is fine
by the way: I make the database using a fastq file, and there are 24 cores on my server.
here is my code:
./fastal -o split_K3_2P_aa.id -P 22 -K 1 -E 1e-05 -X temp_dir -Q 1 ../fast_Fq_DB/ALL_need_MG_FQ_DB split_K3_2P_aa.fq
