以后打算工作中用到的相关BLAST操作全部用BLAST+来完成
与以前的Blast相以,我们还是从格式化数据库到比对开始
一般我们是有一个fasta文件用来格式化数据库,以前的命令是formatdb,现在是makeblastdb
一般用到的格式如下:
makeblastdb -in input_file -dbtype molecule_type -title database_title -parse_seqids -out database_name -logfile File_Name
-in 后接输入文件,你要格式化的fasta序列
-dbtype 后接序列类型,nucl为核酸,prot为蛋白
-title 给数据库起个名,好看~~(不能用在后面搜索时-db的参数)
-parse_seqids 推荐加上,现在有啥原因还没搞清楚
-out 后接数据库名,自己起一个有意义的名字,以后blast+搜索时要用到的-db的参数
-logfile 日志文件,如果没有默认输出到屏幕
和以前的formatdb差别还是挺大的,呵呵
用makeblastdb接参数-help会打印出为些信息:
makeblastdb -help

*** Sequence masking options
-mask_data <String>
Comma-separated list of input files containing masking data as produced by
NCBI masking applications (e.g. dustmasker, segmasker, windowmasker)
*** Output options
-out <String>
Name of BLAST database to be created
Default = input file name provided to -in argumentRequired if multiple
file(s)/database(s) are provided as input

Default = `1GB'
*** Taxonomy options
-taxid <Integer, >=0>
Taxonomy ID to assign to all sequences
* Incompatible with: taxid_map
-taxid_map <File_In>
Text file mapping sequence IDs to taxonomy IDs.
Format:<SequenceId> <TaxonomyId><newline>
* Incompatible with: taxid
-logfile <File_Out>
File to which the program log should be redirected
