Greetings, all! My summer research students and I are having great fun with DNA Master! Both of my students have Macs and we've navigated the challenge of installing Virtual Box and Windows 10. One of my students tried to use a Mac command (a command C to copy and paste) and her DNA Master screen suddenly presented with a very small font size! Enlarging the window just enlarged the amount of white space (screenshot attached below). Any way we can restore DNA Master to its former glory? Thanks, Kathleen 674Kb

kcornely	Thanks, Debbie! And to Veronique, who sent me a very well-timed email! I figured it out five minutes after I posted (figures….) I forgot to click on the "Use PBI server for SEA PHAGES courses". Works like a charm now. Thanks for all of the help, especially at this hour of the evening! Be well, Kathleen

Greetings, all! I have research students this summer and I have a new student who didn't have the phage course and I'd like to start her on an annotation project. I'm not able to perform the auto-annotation on our phage in DNA Master. My version of DNA Master is up to date (Version 5.23.6, Build 2700, 11 May 2021), I re-started DNA Master after updating, and I followed the directions on Dan's blog post. All I get are two tRNAs. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Kathleen

kcornely	Could you please tell me how my students would choose an application? I've attached another screen shot from the second student. I don't see how to either connect as a guest, as Chris suggested, or choose an application, as Debbie suggested. Sorry, I'm not a Mac user! 96Kb

Greetings, all, I have research students starting today. Because of cleaning protocols, they aren't able to move into the dorms until next week, so we are meeting for a week on Zoom. Fun! I thought we'd use our week of remote time to do some annotation work. We are trying to download DNA master. They both have Mac computers. They were able to download the Virtual Box, and then Windows 10. Now they are in Windows 10 and trying to download DNA Master. When they click on the link, they are brought to an ftp site. I looked at Chris's post above, but I don't see any way they can connect. I've attached a screenshot if that is helpful. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! Kathleen 114Kb

kcornely	Greetings all! This looks like an old thread, but it seemed appropriate to post here as our phage also crashes when we run Starterator. Zolita crashes routinely at gene 74. I've attached a screenshot to illustrate what happens. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! 632Kb

kcornely	Thanks for your suggestion about the profile, Chris! And I did see that all of the starterator genes were on line. But I wanted a full report so that I could upload it to PECAAN. And once I looked up how to upload the database, Starterator worked fine. Thanks again!

Hello all! This looks like an old thread, but I'm having trouble with Starterator so this seems to be a good location to post. I'm trying to run Starterator on Skippy, and I selected "Whole Phameratated Phage" and was told that Skippy was not in the database. I know that there is a way to update the database, but I can't remember how, so I chose "Unphamerated Phage" instead and uploaded the FastA file. Starterator appeared to start, but then crashed and I was told to "Please try again" which I did, but it crashed again. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
