Hi Sean,
Yep. we have seen many examples of DNA Master not returning blast results for a few genes (even when every other gene in a genome blasts just fine). Just make a notation that blast results for those genes wouldn't save. We appreciate that you reBLASTed! You can move forward with your submission.

Are you sure that you want to uninstall?
If you are clicking on DNAMaster.exe instead of DNAMas.exe you will be asked to uninstall. You do not want to do that.
DNAMaster.exe is the installation program, but DNAMas.exe is the program.
Once downloaded, you can delete the DNAMaster.exe file.
Carefully follow to the installation guide on phagesDB.
Let me know if that helps.

Hi Arturo,
It is an orpham, but that is ok. Better than ok. You are working on a phage that is the second member of cluster. So careful, de novo inspection (meaning, don't rely on what was called in the first genome, but make your best calls that you can yourselves.) and then enjoy when you come to same conclusions for same/similar genes and celebrate when you find a gene - like this one – that no other genome in our database has! (Remember to blastN it!). And i would call it a membrane protein

That would be great!

Hi Levi,
When you enter your phage, give it an additional notation like, QuinnAvery_UDM. and yes, please delete when you are done.
Department computers can be really good, because once they are set up, they are good to go! OR they can be problematic because IT wipes all machines clean every night. Please try to stick with that on your end (not as a class item), and get IT to see what needs to be done to get this working. It is worth the time.

You can install in a different place (like your desktop) and see if that works, then delete the old stuff.

Hi Levi,
I am not sure I have ever seen this.
Did you just try deleting it?
If you are installing it in a different location, it may not matter.

Fred,
There is no way to adjust DNA Master.

Hi all,
I think there is bacterial contamination at play. But hard to tell, no phage or host is named.
anyone want to help a girl out?
