The most current version of DNA Master is 5.23.6, build 2705, 24 October 2021.
Make sure preferences are set correctly, check #6, to make sure that the sftp settings are correct).
Then, in preferences, go to "Timed Events' and uncheck the first box. It does not need to check for updates again.

Thank you, you are the best! FYI - The phagesdb Installation Guide says the correct version and build, but lists '6 June 2021" to be the proper date, and I got thrown off. I am sure you know this, but just wanted to let you know where I went astray.

As of 1/2/2024, the DNA Master server is online. You can use the original installation protocols in the Bioinformatics Guide.

At this moment I am trying a new fresh download on my work PC laptop computer where it has worked before. I followed the Installation guide from phagesdb and it will not upload to the 6 June 2021 version and am still getting "FTP Error" and "Field Error" and then the error about "NCBI Blast, etc".

I can not figure out where the issue is.

Additionally, my person PC laptop, which has a well working October 2021 version, says this version is up today when I go to update.

Do I need to do the manual workarounds spoken above?

Thanks,
Alison

Hey Dan,

Thanks for replying.

They are all new macs, various models. So when they go to the virtual box page they are installing the "developer preview" version rather than the "intel" which wouldn't work at all for them.

Thanks,
Alison

Hello,

Many of my students are getting the attached error message when attempting to install virtual box. And I am not tech savy enough to figure out the issue. Can anyone help explain why we are getting this error and how we may go about fixing it??

Thank you!

We have the same problem in our cluster F phage, QuickMath. Our gene (stop: 35,259) matches 100%, 1:1 alignment with Kimberlium_46 (function:helix-turn-helix DNA binding domain) and Bubbles123_42 (immunity repressor). E-values are also the same.

Any insight how to call this function?

Thanks!
Alison
