How can I make my own BLAST database?

FAQs - CBRG, Oxford University
A custom BLAST database can be made using your own data in two stages. Firstly, all sequences should be assembled in one place. Apart from downloading this data from elsewhere, the most convenient way to do this is to construct a multi-fasta file containing all of the sequences you would like in the database ( see FAQ: How do I make a multi-fasta file....? ). This file is then used to construct the indexes for the BLAST database using "formatdb".

Against which database can I do a BLAST query?

PlantsUBQ: FAQs
The database options on the drop-down Database list allow you to do BLAST query based on your needs. For example, if you have no idea what a protein does, the "All Arabidopsis Proteins" or the "All Rice Proteins" will give you the original information about the sequence from TIGR even though the protein may not be in our PlantsUBQ database. Querying against the "PlantsUbq Proteins" will find the good matches in the PlantsUBQ database. See similar questions...

I would like to have a local copy of the NCBI Blast database- any advice?

ICM User's Guide: FAQ Graphics and Display
To enable ICM sequence search simply dowload NCBI blast database files to the local s_blastdbDir directory (see File/Preferences/Directories ). Download only three file types for the databases of interest: *.pin, *.phr, *.psq , e.g. nr.pin,nr.phr,nr.psq to your s_blastdbDirectory ( File/Preferences/Directories ) or anywhere else. You can download Blast formatted databases from here ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/blast/db/ eg. pdbaa - PDB sequence database. See similar questions...

What is GEO BLAST?

GEO FAQ
The GEO BLAST tool queries Entrez GEO Profiles for molecular abundance profiles of interest based on nucleotide sequence similarity. The GEO BLAST database contains all GenBank sequences represented on microarray Platforms or SAGE libraries in GEO. This interface is helpful in identifying sequence homologs of interest, e.g., related gene family members or for cross-species comparisons. See similar questions...

QUESTION 4: What is the difference between Hot Blast and Cold Blast Tubular lanterns?

Kerosene Lantern Frequently Asked Questions Page
ANSWER: Tubular Lanterns are roughly classified under the captions "Hot Blast" and "Cold Blast." Dietz (Rhymes with beets) made the first "Hot Blast" Lanterns in 1868, and the first "Cold Blast" Lanterns in 1880. The terms "Hot Blast" and "Cold Blast" are used solely in conjunction with tubular Lanterns and with regard to the method of supplying air to the flame. See similar questions...

Why do you have to blast rock?

Dykon Blasting Explosive Industry Questions
