+NCBI nr database
+----------------
+
+The use of external datasets within Galaxy via the ``*.loc`` configuration
+files undermines provenance tracking within Galaxy. This is exacerbated
+by the lack of officially versioned BLAST database releases by the NCBI.
+
+This workflow assumes that you have an entry ``nr`` in your ``blastdb_p.loc``
+(the configuration file listing locally installed BLAST databases external
+to Galaxy - consult the NCBI BLAST+ wrapper documentation for more details),
+and that this points to a mirror of the latest NCBI "non-redundant" database
+from ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/
+
+i.e. The workflow is intended to be used against the *latest* nr database,
+and thus is not reproducible over the long term as the database changes.
