4. Create database

  • Download or create FASTA file. File name is assumed to be testdb.fasta.
  • Copy testdb.fasta to ~/blast/db.
  • Open Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
  • Type 'cd ~/blast/db' and type return.
  • Type 'makeblastdb -in testdb.fasta -out testdb -dbtype nucl' for DNA or 'makeblastdb -in testdb.fasta -out testdb -dbtype prot' for Protein and type return to get the database named testdb.
  • Type 'makeblastdb -help' for advanced options.

5. Launch NCBI-Blast+ commands

  • Create dna or protein query FASTA file. It can contain multi FASTA data. File name is assumed to be test_dna.fasta and test_protein.fasta here. nt.00 is a dna database file and nr.00 is a protein database file available at ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/blast/db/. These database files are assumed to be downloaded already.
  • blastn
    1) Open Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
    2) Type 'blastn -query test_dna.fasta -db nt.00 -out test.html -html' and type return.
    3) Type 'blastn -help' for advanced options.
  • blastp
    1) Open Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
    2) Type 'blastp -query test_protein.fasta -db nr.00 -out test.html -html' and type return.
    3) Type 'blastn -help' for advanced options.
