Are we annotating a frameshift for this cluster or waiting for more evidence? I'm assuming no for now since none of the ANs have annotated a frameshift?

Does a gene that BLASTs to Membrane protein, Band-7-like need to have multiple transmembrane domains to call it Membrane protein, Band-7-like?

I don't think adenylate kinase is on the approved functions list yet. Can it be added?

We have a gene in our C1 phage with many hits to a zinc-finger DNA binding domain/protein in PhagesDB BLAST and NCBI BLAST. We used HHPred and got several hits to zinc finger proteins with probabilities above 95. Is this a function we can use?

We also have many BLAST hits for an N-acetyl transferase on PhagesDB BLAST and NCBI BLAST. When I tried HHPred I got many hits for acetyl transferases (around a probability of 90). Is this a function we can use?

We have a tRNA gene in a tRNA cluster within our C1 phage, Roots515, that DNA Master says is for serine but ARAGORN and tRNAscan-SE say is for leucine. Additionally, the anticodon is almost always consistent between ARAGORN and tRNAscan-SE but different in DNA Master. This is our first experience annotating tRNAs but, as you can imagine, we have many to do for our C1 phage! Any advice is most welcome! Thanks.

Problem solved! Thank you so very much!!

1. Can you ignore the box, and just start phamerator?

I don't think I can do that. I tried starting the virtual box and then the sea machine. I also tried starting the sea machine directly. When I start the sea machine directly I get the message in the attachment.

2. What happens if you just click the red close button at the very top left? Does it still kick you back to the login screen?

Yup. It still kicks me out.

3. Does this happen on both the student and faculty accounts?

Unfortunately yes. In the student account I can't even try to click any buttons. It kicks me back to the login screen almost immediately.

I am getting an error message (different than the one posted in the forum last year - see attachment). If I click on either "report" or "cancel" it kicks me back to the screen that asks for a password. The error box moves a little within the upper left corner of my screen - almost blinking in and out. I've tried to reinstall the software and I've also updated the virtual machine. Neither made a difference. Any help someone can give me is most welcome!

I checked in this morning and my BLAST went just fine (and it was a large genome - over 150 kB). I'm not sure what to suggest. I'm no computer wiz. I kind of limp along and learn as I go.

I got it to work this afternoon, actually! ! It's BLASTING as I type this smile

Were you able to get BLAST to work? I have been trying to BLAST my genome in DNA Master for the past few days and it has not worked. I was wondering if this was specific to my computer or the program.
