Blast database formatted with prepdb does not support taxonomic information #805
Comments
I have the same problem. |
The feature is not supported but I plan to implement it. |
I see. What do you think is the best way to build the diamond database from a downloaded nr to have taxonomy features? I am asking since I have no root access on the cluster to download the db as fasta and format it with |
Hello,
I have a local copy of the blast nr database, which I prepared for a diamond search with prepdb.
After running a search using the "staxids sskingdoms skingdoms sphylums sscinames" options for outfmt 6, I got the following error message:
Error: Taxonomy features are not supported for the BLAST database format.
Running a vanilla blast search against the blast database worked just fine, so I can guarantee that this isn't an issue with the blast database itself not being taxonomically aware.
From what I saw in the diamond documentation, in order to have taxonomy features you need to use --taxonmap when running makedb to create the diamond database, but there is no mention of prepdb. Is there any way to have taxonomically aware searches using a database formatted with prepdb?
Thank you!
