Hey guys,
I am relatively new to linux and command line and have a basic understanding of the basic commands in regards to the terminal.
What I want to do is set up local BLAST+ databases so I can BLAST hundreds of sequences against the blastx or blastn databases.
So far I have downloaded the latest databases, extracted them via gunzip, and copied them into my usr/local/bin folder. I believe this allows me to run BLAST applications from anywhere.
I do not know where to go next. Do I have to format the blastx and blastn databases before I can blast my sequences? If so can any of you please point me in the right direction in how to do this?
Any help is appreciated, thank you very much!
Ryan.
