NCBI BLAST+ makeblastdb (version 2.14.1+galaxy2)

Molecule type of input:

Select inputs

Select input 0

Title for BLAST database:

This is the database name shown in BLAST search output

Parse the sequence identifiers:

This is only advised if your FASTA file follows the NCBI naming conventions using pipe '|' symbols

Enable the creation of sequence hash values:

These hash values can then be used to quickly determine if a given sequence data exists in this BLAST database.

Optional ASN.1 file(s) containing masking data:

As produced by NCBI masking applications (e.g. dustmasker, segmasker, windowmasker)

Taxonomy options:

What it does

Make BLAST database from one or more FASTA files and/or BLAST databases.

This is a wrapper for the NCBI BLAST+ tool 'makeblastdb', which is the replacement for the 'formatdb' tool in the NCBI 'legacy' BLAST suite.

More information about makeblastdb can be found in the BLAST Command Line Applications User Manual.
