DanRussell	Hi all, If you've successfully set up the SEA VM, but are still struggling with DNA Master, you might be interested in giving this new approach a shot. It allows you to run DNA Master within the SEA VM itself. It should be emphasized that this is a beta test only and is only recommended if you're an intrepid type and not worried about potential hiccups. That said, this has a lot of potential to be the future of how SEA-PHAGES uses DNA Master, and so any feedback we get would be welcome. I'll post a link to the instructions for doing this. Please use this forum to document any issues with the installation and/or running of DNA Master within the VM. http://seaphages.org/media/docs/DNA_Master_on_SEAVM_instructions.docx (Big thanks to Kristen Butela, Tammy Adair, Keith Hutchison, and others who have been troubleshooting non-Windows DNA Master.) Thanks, –Dan Edited 12 Feb, 2016 22:21

DanRussell	Hi Greg, The coding potential looks sparse on the reverse strand in that region. Quick question: what are the other genomes where that reverse-strand gene is called? Are any (or all) of those still in "_Draft" form? –Dan

DanRussell	andersonr24@gator.uhd.edu Is it possible to be emailed the SeaVM file? I am a student and I am trying to annotate, but unable to comlplete without this file. Thanks! andersonr24@gator.uhd.edu Yep, just sent them to you. –Dan

DanRussell	(Also, make sure you restart Phamerator once the database update is complete.)

DanRussell	Hi Joe, The first—and most critical—thing to check is whether or not the students who don't have the newer phages are using the correct Phamerator database. To check the current database/server settings, go into one of their Phamerators and go to Edit –> Preferences. The current server and database should be: `server: http://phamerator.webfactional.com/databases_Hatfull` `database: Actino_Draft` If those are the settings, and you're still not seeing the recent phages, let us know. –Dan

DanRussell	Tamarah Adair Can someone please tell me how to share from the virtual box/phamerator files to the Mac desk top? Hi Tammy, Yes, setting up a shared folder as Chris described is perfect. (Just make sure you click "Auto-mount" as well, so it'll be loaded and ready to go each time you open the VM.) If you're using VirtualBox version 5.0 or later, you should be able to use Drag-and-Drop as well, though again as Chris mentioned it's still a bit buggy. To use this, open VirtualBox (not the VM itself yet) and select the VM just to highlight it. Click Settings–>General then click the "Advanced" tab. You should see a "Shared Clipboard" and a "Drag'n'Drop" setting. Put these both on "Bidirectional". Then launch the Virtual Machine and give it a shot. –Dan

DanRussell	cdshaffer …All my changes are freely available if anyone wants to download them and try their phage. You can get my version of the code from my github repository (github.com cdshaffer/starterator). Anyone comfortable with using the git command line to pull from a remote directory can easily download and test the code. My most recent branch is called filterSpanningGenes. Thanks again, Chris, for all this work. I think we should definitely formulate a plan to get an improved version of Starterator out to everyone. Perhaps it's something that could be part of the Faculty Retreat/Workshop this year and follow it up with some testing. It'd be great to even fix just some of the basic errors. –Dan

DanRussell	Copying Fred's stuff from another thread to here, where it's best addressed. Thanks for all your help with this, Chris! Hopefully we can get some of these bugs permafixed soon. fbaliraine I have deleted all "Intermediate Files" folders in the cache as suggested by Dan Russell, "2. Some crashes have been fixed by deleting older files cached by starterator. These files can be found by going to your home directory, and select the menu item View -> "show hidden files" Once you select that, you will see many more files and folders in your home directory. Open the folder .starterator and inside there is a folder called "Intermediate Files". I have fixed many crashes by deleting all files in that folder and running starterator again. " But "Andies_draft" still crashes at the same spot, stating "Startsaerator has encountered an error, please try again" as per attached snapshopt. Fred

DanRussell	Veronique Delesalle I'm using HHPred tonight (Feb 7th) and can only see the databases pbd70_ and pfam_. There is no tigrfam_! Anybody knows what happened to that database? Thx, Veronique I noticed this as well, Véronique. I'm not sure why, but just wanted to confirm that it's not something about your computer or setup! –Dan

DanRussell	chumho Dan Russell chumho Some DM did not show Figure 1.2 completely, the lower part was totally missed (see pdf attached) even we updated DM and restarted PC many times. What might be wrong? Thanks, Eric. Hi Eric, What is the build number of the computers having problems? To find this out, go to Help –> About. –Dan Version 5.22.5. Actually I had asked our IT to download and reinstall DNA Master again. It is working now. The current version is 5.22.23. But I'm confused why the 'update DNA Master' function didn't do the work. The most common problem with DNA Master is that it's not being run as an administrator. If not, then even when the update "completes", it won't really be updated. The best thing to do is to check that build number and see whether it's up-to-date or not. If not, then run an update and check the build number again. If it hasn't updated, then something else is wrong (like not running as an administrator). –Dan
