官方描述

alienness需要输入蛋白序列比对到nr数据库的结果文件作为输入

其对blastp的需求如下

-option value Description
-outfmt 7 7 = tabular with comment lines !MANDATORY
-db nr BLAST database name For a better coverage of the biodiversity, NCBI’s nr library is recommanded but not necessary. The protein library must have gi or accession numbers that exist in the NCBI database.
-seg no The SEG program is used to mask or filter low complexity regions in amino acid queries
-evalue 1e-3 Expect value (E) for saving hits

记录

实际上,alienness需要结果文件第2列subject id中含有gi 或 accession numbers 使其识别subject id的物种来源。且其格式应当如下

1
gi|831779554|ref|XP_012755758.1|

但有时blast输出的结果第二列为subject acc.ver,其内容只是accession number的一部分

1
XP_018661062.1

如此,并不能得到我们需求的结果
