This is not a bug, it's an error message I put in deliberately to flag when the user's annotation file doesn't have any annotation information. I'm guessing either they aligned against a weird database, uploaded their own alignment and didn't provide any annotation information, or they aligned against uniref/uniprot and didn't find any hits. We may want to think of better ways to communicate this to the user, but ultimately their job has failed because their sequences had no species information that could extract.

Ok.

Thy aligned against uniref100 using the pipeline (upload of alignments is not yet possible), so most likely the second case (didn't find any hits). I tried to blast one of the two sequences and indeed I got very ridiculous hits. So this is an accepted failure? Think it would qualify as something to add to the FAQ on the website...

P.S.: Yes, maybe a more explicative error message in the pipeline would be great?
