Hello,

I successfully created a database using the makeblastdb command and ran blastx, but it did not return any taxonomic or gene information. Below is an example of the input fasta file I gave makeblastdb (should I have used -parse\_ids?) and query fasta:

db fasta (downloaded directly from NCBI):

> AVN99676.1 histone H3, partial [Turbinaria sp. (in: Phaeophyceae)]  
> KQTARKSTGGKAPRKQLATKAARKSAPATGGVKKPHRYRPGTVALREIRRYQKSTELLIRKLPFQRLVREIAQDFKTDLRFQSSAVLALQEASEAYLVGLFEDTNLCAIHAKRVT

query fasta:
