  • Naive issue of database download

    Hello All,

    I am trying to download the whole genome(nt) sequences for different species. But I don't get any single file for that.
    Eg I go to

    NCBI RefSeq FTP-> Genomes-> Homo sapiens
    ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/genomes/H_sapiens/

    The sequences are spread over different chromosomes.
    Should I download each chromosome and concatenate into one file or there is some other option?

    thanks,

    Sheera, concatenating is one option.

    Depending on the species that you need, you might also find what you are looking for here:

    cheers!

      Thanks for the reply.
      But this concatenated dataset would serve as an database for the local stand alone blast+.

      I have to download almost all mammalian.
      Any better way of downloading the genomes.
      Thanks.

        Have you considered downloading pre-built blast index files from NCBI: ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/

          Thanks GenoMax!
          But I am not agree I am not at itagain.
          I downloaded refseq_genomic_tar.gz data file from ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/ like this

          ./update_blastdb.pl ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/ refseq_genomic*

          I gunzip and got like 8 files as:
          refseq_genomic.nhr
          refseq_genomic.nin
          refseq_genomic.nid
          refseq_genomic.nnd
          refseq_genomic.nog
          refseq_genomic.nsi n more.
          I want to make this as file as my local database for the further blast thing.
          I have new blast ie blast+ working

          Now for formatdb, its makeblastdb.

          I dont know how the downloaded file works here as I tried many ways.
          ./makeblastdb -i refseq_genomic.tar.gz -title ref_data -out ref_data


          Someone any idea how it should be proceeded?

            These are pre-made blast index files. You can start using them right away after extracting them from the archive.

              Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
              by seqadmin


              Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
