Hi,
I need to do comparisons between pairs of protein sequences. I have
installed standalone Blast locally and would like to call it from my bioperl
program. For using blastp, I am wondering if I can avoid to perform
formatdb first since I am comparing one sequence against another rather than
searching one sequence against a set of sequences? I guess it must be
stupid to format a single sequence into a blast DB whenever I want to
perform a comparison. I will appreciate your any advices and help on the
matter. Thank you!
Sincerely
Haifeng Liu
