Might not be a BLAST file in XML format

1

Hi there,
I just finished running DIAMOND on Windows. My output file for the alignments was .xml file.
When i upload the file on MEGAN CE and there was a error that Might not be a BLAST file in XML format.
Should i covert my output file? if so, how do i go about doing that.
Thanks

It is best to produce a .daa file with DIAMOND and then run daa-meganizer on that.
If you give me access to the xml file then I will take a look at it, but xml is not recommended for metagenomic applications (too big)

Thanks.
After you reply, i rerun BLASTX throught DIAMOND, output .m8 file and run successfully in MEGAN CE, but when i was running in MEGAN 5, i failed.
The results show that:
Total reads:113998
Total no-hits:0
Total matches:1072905
Assigned: 0
Reads with no hits: 0

Could you tell me what the problem is?
Thanks.

Excuse me , i just saw that the news that MEGAN5 is no longer available, next i’ll try MEGAN UE, Thanks.

Yes, unfortunately, we don’t have the resources to provide support for MEGAN5…
