Can I use my own database, besides the public databases?
Hollyhlp opened this issue · 0 comments
I made a database by using metagenomic sequencing data. However, when I chose this home-made fasta file as the database and run "start searching", it was always said "searching database failed", and in the results, no peptide or protein was identified. May I know why it is like that? Is it only the public database with strict formating can be used? Thank you for your attention and time.
The formt of sequences in the home-made database is as follows:
C1_00001 Electron transport complex subunit RsxG
