Add database for sequenceserver from ncbi

sequenceserver
#1

Hello, friends!

Can you tell me how to install a database server in the sequenceserver for blast?

I need to bind the database for the blasts as in your screenshot 2_2.png.

But I don’t know where to download the file on site http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/, for example, such as viruses and install the database.

I see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK52640/ and see database ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/ and I don’t install the database for sequenceserver.

Thank you very much!

Each NCBI database comprises several files (also called volumes). Make sure to download all the files. You can use update_blastdb.pl (that comes with BLAST) or ncbi-blast-dbs gem (https://github.com/yeban/ncbi-blast-dbs) to make sure all files are downloaded.

Once you have downloaded the databases, tell SequenceServer which directory you downloaded the databases to.

sequenceserver -s -d /my/databases
