  • command line BLASTN 2.3.0+ different hits from the web blastN

    Hi,
    I got different matches using the command line BLASTN 2.3.0+ (- remote) option from the NCBI website BlastN! Has anybody experienced this before?

    There must be a difference in the command line you are using and the defaults on the web blast. Have you looked into that? Web blast is likely using 2.4.x, the latest. So if you want to really compare then upgrade your local blast to the latest as well.

      I did not. I found Blast 2.5.x. I will give this a shot. However, the difference in the matches is stark. Could the updates in the database itself make that much difference for ITS sequences in two months?

        Two months is a long time so perhaps that is one factor for sure.

            The NCBI BLAST website does a lot of parameter optimisation for you based things like query sequence length - the gap settings in particular are worth checking compared to the command line defaults.

              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...
