Probe Mining

The OligoArray script might actually need the blast database broken up into 1kb chunks for some reason. So, let's try that.

  1. Create BLAST database from fragmented genome
    1. formatdb -i in_hg38.fas -p T -o F
[formatdb] WARNING: Cannot add sequence number 1953021 (lcl|range=hg38:1953020000-1953020999) because it has zero-length.
[formatdb] FATAL ERROR: Fatal error when adding sequence to BLAST database.

So that's a fatal error.

The instructions call for concatenating all the fasta files into one. I did this step using cat, but they suggest using their java script, so I'll try that.

  1. Concatenate fasta files
    1. java ConcatenateFiles hg38_cat.fas *.fa
  2. Fragment genome into pieces
    1. python ../bin/input_blocks.py
    2. Please enter the filename, "chr2R_sorted_oligo.txt" or "chr2R_intersect.bed" etc.: hg38_cat.fas
    3. Please enter the chromosome or assembly, "chr1 or ch2R, etc.: hg38
Killed

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Trying again using the Wu lab version of the fasta file. This is an older version (hg19/gr37, not gr38), but it'll have to do.

  1. Format BLAST database
    1. formatdb -i hg19.fas -p F -o T
