BLAST ERROR Too many positional arguments (1)

Hi All!

I created a custom BLAST database and now I am trying to run blastp with a query file.

I ran the following command:

blastp -query sequences_dsrb_sol_1_10.fasta -db /cluster/scratch/pramirez/MAP_DSRB_FILES/second_blastdb_construction/THIS_IS_MY_DATABASE/mdb/dbase -num_threads 16 -max_target_seqs 1 -evalue 1e-30 -out test.txt

And I am getting the following error:

Error:  (CArgException::eSynopsis) Too many positional arguments (1), the offending value: /cluster/scratch/pramirez/MAP_DSRB_FILES/second_blastdb_construction/THIS_IS_MY_DATABASE/mdb/dbase.phr

How can I fix it?

Thanks!

Did you create a protein blast database starting with protein fasta sequence files?

Hi GenoMax! Yes, I started with protein fasta sequences.
