seaphages_usc	This works great, thank you so much for the heads up! afreise Good news! VMWare Fusion version 13.5 contains a built-in approach to installing WIndows 11 ARM version. All you have to do is install VMWare and then when the wizard pops up, select 'Get Windows from Microsoft". It will auto-download the ARM version. I used it and then downloaded DNA Master using Kristen's update package successfully. Note: when you first boot Windows, you must click within the window and press a key within 5 seconds or it will time out.

seaphages_usc	Thank you! That makes sense all around. debbie Using the phamerator numbers I would likely not call either 39 or 40. 34296 - 34397 has enough (though slight) coding potential for me to consider calling this one. No Other FF has this sequence. Note that this genome has 2 tRNAs, make sure there is not any overlap between genes/tRNAs.

seaphages_usc	I am exploring two gaps in Gusanita's ORF assignment by DNA Master and am having some trouble deciding if they are good to call or not. 1) Thoughts on deleting called gene, forward, 29241-29357 as it doesn't have good BLAST data and no other related phage have a forward gene in the middle of this reverse stretch. Possible new genes: 2) 29270 start, 28890 stop, reverse orientation, has a BLAST match, but not good HHPred data. This still leaves a gap here, but I don't see any other good options and no related phage give strong comparison in this area. 3) 34296 start, 34397 stop, -4 overlap, BLAST matches look good

seaphages_usc	Thank you! debbie Hi! I could call 41673-41810. There is a nib of coding potential and that if fits with 4bp overlaps at both ends is compelling. I think the coding potential is there for 41974-42225. However, I am not sure about the last one 42293-42394. I don't think that i would call it. debbie

seaphages_usc	Working on the end of Cluster FF phage Gusanita and am wondering what criteria I should use to add a gene here. I could insert a gene at start site 41673 with a -4 overlap. There is decent BLAST and HHPred matches here, so I am comfortable with that. There is potential for another gene at 41974, also with a -4 overlap. This one doesn't have good HHPred or BLAST matches. Should I leave it out or go with the notion that it's an orphan with its attractive overlap. Lastly, a potential start at 42293 with a -4 overlap and a single BLAST match. Any help would be appreciated with these gaps at the end with lovely potential ORFs. welkin The right arms of cluster F genes are characterized by TONS of tiny genes. These genes are sometimes so small that the gene prediction programs have a really difficult time predicting them. You can usually identify them easily though, as their start and stop codons will overlap with the flanking genes in a 4bp overlap.

seaphages_usc	Hi All, I have DNA Master working on Parallels/Windows 11 on my M1 Mac. And several of my students do as well. You can download a trial copy for 14 days to give it a try. Our university has a 1-year subscription to Parallels for about $40, so I'll use some funds to buy copies for my students who need it.

seaphages_usc	Great, thank you! We'll give Parallels a try to see how it works.

seaphages_usc	Any ideas on how to run DNA Master on a new M1 Mac?

seaphages_usc	I am having this error as well. Did you ever find out what caused it?
