.. class:: warningmark

**Note**. Database searches may take a substantial amount of time.
For large input datasets it is advisable to allow overnight processing.  

-----

**What it does**

Search a *nucleotide database* using a *nucleotide query*,
using the NCBI BLAST+ blastn command line tool.
Algorithms include blastn, megablast, and discontiguous megablast.

-----

**Output format**

Because Galaxy focuses on processing tabular data, the default output of this
tool is tabular. The standard BLAST+ tabular output contains 12 columns:

====== ========= ============================================
Column NCBI name Description
------ --------- --------------------------------------------
     1 qseqid    Query Seq-id (ID of your sequence)
     2 sseqid    Subject Seq-id (ID of the database hit)
     3 pident    Percentage of identical matches
     4 length    Alignment length
     5 mismatch  Number of mismatches
     6 gapopen   Number of gap openings
     7 qstart    Start of alignment in query
     8 qend      End of alignment in query
     9 sstart    Start of alignment in subject (database hit)
    10 send      End of alignment in subject (database hit)
    11 evalue    Expectation value (E-value)
    12 bitscore  Bit score
====== ========= ============================================

The BLAST+ tools can optionally output additional columns of information,
but this takes longer to calculate. Most (but not all) of these columns are
included by selecting the extended tabular output. The extra columns are
included *after* the standard 12 columns. This is so that you can write
workflow filtering steps that accept either the 12 or 22 column tabular
BLAST output.

====== ============= ===========================================
Column NCBI name     Description
------ ------------- -------------------------------------------
    13 sallseqid     All subject Seq-id(s), separated by a ';'
    14 score         Raw score
    15 nident        Number of identical matches
    16 positive      Number of positive-scoring matches
    17 gaps          Total number of gaps
    18 ppos          Percentage of positive-scoring matches
    19 qframe        Query frame
    20 sframe        Subject frame
    21 qseq          Aligned part of query sequence
    22 sseq          Aligned part of subject sequence
====== ============= ===========================================

The third option is BLAST XML output, which is designed to be parsed by
another program, and is understood by some Galaxy tools.

You can also choose several plain text or HTML output formats which are designed to be read by a person (not by another program).
The HTML versions use basic webpage formatting and can include links to the hits on the NCBI website.
The pairwise output (the default on the NCBI BLAST website) shows each match as a pairwise alignment with the query.
The two query anchored outputs show a multiple sequence alignment between the query and all the matches,
and differ in how insertions are shown (marked as insertions or with gap characters added to the other sequences).
