BLASTDB

Both the command line BLAST and the Galaxy Framework at UF HPC use the same BLAST databases. We retain two releases of the BLASTDB (blast databases) at a time. The current BLASTDB version is made available to the ncbi_blast tools via the BLASTDB environment variable. Currently provided databases are listed below. If you need a custom database to be added to the list and would like to avoid using up your personal filespace quota please file a Support Request Ticket or contact the UF HPC Biological Computing Support. To ensure reproducibility of the analytical results within the time frame of an average bioinformatics project the BLAST databases are updated twice a year around May 1st (Release #1) and November 1st (Release #2).

Provided BLASTDB releases

• 2012-02
• 2012-05 (Full mirror of NCBI Blast Databases) - Release #1 of 2012.
