Strategy to run Easyfig: Ubuntu 20.04

[ghost]

Hello,

I was trying to run Easyfig on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS but I had many problems

a) BLAST+ was not working well
b) I was not having output files
c) Stopped moments after starting

So this is what I did:

1. I downloaded my .gb and the .fasta files from GenBank
2. I manually downloaded the .csv file (Hit table) from BLASTn
3. I took the .csv file and converted to .tsv in https://onlinecsvtools.com/convert-csv-to-tsv
4. I added the .gb files to Easyfig and manually added the .tsv files
5. It finally gave me an output

I hope this can help!

Hey @davidmadariaga
This is how I do it

1. Use the .fasta files to BLASTn the genomes (option: align two o more sequences)
2. In the description tab you will see a download button
3. Click there and then download the Hit table CSV (see image)
4. Then proceed with the other steps
