I was trying to do a sequence alignment with blastn and the website suggested
an error was encountered. Could you please look into it?

After checking the Apache access & error logs on peanutbase.org, it seems likely the error the user encountered was the following:

Shortly afterwards, this IP address (from Athens, Georgia) submitted a message via the contact form:

168.18.68.65 - - [26/Jun/2015:12:20:31 -0500] "POST /contact HTTP/1.0" 302 -

The ASN files in question are empty:

$ ls -l /tmp/2015Jun26_131602.blast.asn
-rw-r--r--  1 www  wheel  0 Jun 26 12:16 /tmp/2015Jun26_131602.blast.asn
$ ls -l /tmp/2015Jun26_131737.blast.asn
-rw-r--r--  1 www  wheel  0 Jun 26 12:17 /tmp/2015Jun26_131737.blast.asn
$ ls -l /tmp/2015Jun26_131838.blast.asn
-rw-r--r--  1 www  wheel  0 Jun 26 12:18 /tmp/2015Jun26_131838.blast.asn

Is it possible under normal circumstances for the ASN file to be empty? If so, can the blast_ui module handle this?

Response from reporter:

I got an error when I choose the match/mismatch score as 4/-5 instead of the 2/-3 default. I was try to see if I can find less homologous sequences from my query sequence. I was looking for potential off target site of the gRNA. I am not sure if the match/mismatch score 4/-5 allow more mismatch or not. What would you suggest?

Response from Steven:

Ah – that helps me understand.

I am not sure how the match/mismatch scoring will affect the results.
You might instead try:

Or if your query sequence is genic (from CDS), try blastx (http://peanutbase.org/blast/nucleotide/protein). This should be more sensitive.

Let me know if any of these help you, or if you still run into problems.

Prateek, was this problem fixed with your change to word sizes?

by ecannon

adf-ncgr commented 8 years ago

Yes, I had made changes in word sizes which solve this problem.
