I am working on a research about blastp. I wanted to run the benchmark that exists in the path ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/demo/benchmark/ and I was wondering where can I find the original fasta benchmark database file before makeblastdb was run and I could only find the nr file in the db/fasta directory ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/fasta but not the subset benchmark. Will you please guide me to where I can find the benchmark fasta file.

All the information you need (queries, database etc) is in the tar file: ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/dem...ark2013.tar.gz -
The tar file contains the preformatted database files but I need the database before formatting because I want to call makeblastdb with sorting option to sort database sequencesComment

You can extract sequences from the pre-formatted database by doing the following:
Code:$ blastdbcmd -db ./benchmark.aa -entry all -outfmt '%f' > protein_seq $ blastdbcmd -db ./benchmark.nt -entry all -outfmt '%f' > nuc_seq

Thank you so much. I am using this benchmark for psiblast not blastp. Do you know any benchmark for psi.Comment

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...Yesterday, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
