Thanks all for the hardware tips!

I am currently setting up a blast run of marine sequences against Ciona
intestinalis from Unigene.  A couple of bugs, which  maybe someone has
overcome :



1.  In the file which I downloaded 'File: Cin.seq.uniq.Z', the various
entries in this FASTA format file have headers such as :

>gnl|UG|Cin#S6667694 Ciona intestinalis cDNA, clone:cits020m24, full
insert sequence. /gb=AK117037 /gi=23589844 /ug=Cin.3 /len=12
14
ATCAGATTAAAACATCGTCCATCGTTAGAGTTTATAATTTACATGTTTGAAAAAGTTTAA
AATGCCTTCAAATAAACCAATTGTTAAGGATATCCCAAGAAAATGTGGCGTTCCTAGAGA
A


How can I get a more descriptive/functional definition of the various
unigene clusters?

2.  I used the 'formatdb -i Cin.seq.uniq -p F -o T -n unigene_ciona'
command.  Is this correct?  In the formatdb logfile, how can the following
errors be corrected (if necessary) :
