No, I think the problem is mpiBLAST considers '0' to be a valid number. So if you have 20 nodes (0-19), you'll need to mpiformatdb for 19. I know, this caught me off guard too, but I just live with it. -- Jeremy Mann jeremy@biochem.uthscsa.edu University of Texas Health Science Center Bioinformatics Core Facility http://www.bioinformatics.uthscsa.edu Phone: (210) 567-2672
