I opened #970344 against ncbi-blast+ to document the issue. One thing that should work, should time become of the essence, would be to run kaptive.py in single threaded mode, using flag "-t 1": kaptive.py \ -t 1 \ -a exact_match.fasta \ -k /usr/share/${pkg}/reference_database/Klebsiella_k_locus_primary_reference.gbk \ -o output/test Maybe it would be worth adding a flaky run multi-threaded in that case as well, and point to #970344 to indicate where intermittent results come from. > > I'm also near finishing packaging Biopython 1.78, so that update > > might add a bit more entropy into these testings. > > Thumbs up for working on Biopython 1.78 - lets see what side effect it > will have on the issue above. Alas, I'm afraid the Biopython 1.78 update didn't help in that matter.
