Problem with blastpgp - (May/22/2008 )
Hi,
 
When I run blastpgp.exe on 1a1v.fasta (protein), I get the following errors: 
 
[command prompte>>  blastpgp -b 0 -j 3 -h 0.001 -d %dbname% -i  1a1v.fasta   -C   1a1v.blast ]

Whould you please help me with solving it? 
 
Thanks in advanced.
Are you sure, that your fasta file hast the correct format? -> Its content should start with   >protein name
Did you try to paste the sequence directly and not to upload the sequence file?
