    If you start with the release10_32_unaligned.fa FASTA format file you will have to create a blast database from it. You can't directly use it for blastn. Instructions on how to create a blastable database from a fasta (makeblastdb) file are available at the blast command line help page: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1763/

    release10_32_unaligned.gb appears to have the same sequences in GenBank format.
    What are those aligned databases for? Are they better for blast?

    I try to download RDP database from here (http://rdp.cme.msu.edu/misc/resources.jsp)

    However, after I download it, I am not sure which format (or database) I should use.

    I want to use BLASTn to blast my sequences data and my data are not aligned. Should I use Unaligned database from the website?

    Also, should I use "Genbank, unaligned". What does Genebank mean on the website? Does it mean RDP_10_32 database in genebank format? or It means the NCBI rRNA database. Can I use it directly for blastn command? or I need to convert the database to NCBI request database.

    Best regards,

    started a topic RDP database

    RDP database

    Can I download RDP database from NCBI? There are some database on NCBI ftp (e.g.16SMicrobial.tar.gz, refseq_rna.00.tar.gz). Are these NCBI own database or they are from other sources (just in NCBI format)

    Advancing Precision Medicine for Rare Diseases in Children
    by seqadmin




    Many organizations study rare diseases, but few have a mission as impactful as Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine (RCIGM). “We are all about changing outcomes for children,” explained Dr. Stephen Kingsmore, President and CEO of the group. The institute’s initial goal was to provide rapid diagnoses for critically ill children and shorten their diagnostic odyssey, a term used to describe the long and arduous process it takes patients to obtain an accurate...
