Cannot retrieve path to RPS database

[Alopias1988]

Hi, I think this has a simple answer, I get this error when running the rpsblast command:

rpsblast -query ROD1.txt -db /Users/Laura/Desktop/rspblast/Cog_LE/ -out rps.blast.out -evalue 1e-5 -outfmt 6
Cannot retrieve path to RPS database

Thanks!

Greetings,

If you have not resolved this issue yet, it appears that you are listing the directory where the Cog database is located and not the full path to the database; in your case it would be "/Users/Laura/Desktop/rspblast/Cog_LE/Cog".

Best,

Jake
