Stuck on `OS Call: perl inparanoid.pl IN DB`

[JoshLoecker]

Hello, I am trying to create a model of Macaca Mulatta (mmul) using MetaDraft. I have the .faa file for mmul, along with a Homo Sapien .gbff file and an SBML file (Recon3D from the BiGG database).

However, when clicking "BLAST" after loading and creating the metaproteome, I am only seeing the following lines in the python console

Work directory: /work/helikarlab/joshl/cbmpy-metadraft/data_blast/1717696531
OS call: perl inparanoid.pl IN DB

Here is a screenshot of what I am seeing

If there's anything else I can provide, please let me know! Thank you for any assistance

I got the same problem, I have tested systemtest.py, every software the metadraft needed is fine, but I am still stuck at the interface running "OS call: perl inparanoid.pl IN DB" for hours，I use the "top" command and can not see any blast is running.

I think the common problem is that MetaDraft is using the BLAST+ and not the legacy BLAST that is required by an external PERL module it uses. I realise that the use of legacy BLAST is a problem, however, there is no quick fix for this version of Metadraft. I am currently looking into developing the next version of Metadraft that will completely remove the module that is causing the problems and remove most of the currently required dependencies.

My apologies for the problems you are all experiencing, the BLAST/PERL combination has been a problem that has developed over the years and now needs a radical rewrite of some core code. While I cannot give an estimate on when the new version will be available. I will release a new version and add a comment to this thread when it is available for testing.
