I've downloaded and installed blast and some FASTA
databases for a lab I'm working for. I have a user
who is blasting (using blastx) against a list of
clones. Unfortunately, the database files I
downloaded do not contain enough information for
her(because they are fasta format)
This leads me to believe that I need a local copy of
the genBank files. I've downloaded gbpln[1-9].seq
from NCBI. (we only need plant files). Is it possible
to blast against these gb files? Also, what options
do I need to use on formatdb to create the correct
index files?
If my questions are out of place here, let me know and
I'll desist.
