Eggnog and Interpro2go mappings not working with genome reference targets?

Hello there. I am using MEGAN6 Linux on .sam files obtained with MagicBlast on a database of bacterial genomes (and plasmids) obtained converting NCBI files to FastA. The identifier is hence Accession Number of the NCBI Bacterial Genomes (NC_* and NZ_*) and the Taxonomy assignment works fine.

The problem is with mapping to Eggnog and Interpro2go after having loaded the appropriate files acc2eggnog-June2016X.abin and acc2interpro-June2016X.abin from MEGAN6.

As highlighted in the MEGAN log below, I don’t obtain any result for these two functional mappings, but this is really surprising !! How can it be ? Any suggestion ?

Also, I would like to know if the taxonomy mapping rate of these sequences (around 500.000 against a database of 10.135 target sequences) is reasonable.

Thanks in advance & best regards,

Alessandro Guffanti

You are performing a BLASTN alignment against DNA sequence. The functional mapping files only work on the output of a DIAMOND or BLASTX alignment of reads against protein reference sequences such as the NCBI protein nr database.

Thank you !
