So the aphid community has adopted Acypi as their digital handle. The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, would become Apis, which would certainly get confused with the honeybee genus, Apis. For species, they are typically identified by a four letter abbreviation consisting of the first initial of the genus, followed by the first three letters of the specific epithet. In order to keep things organized on nscc, it’s helpful to use consistent and clear file names. txt extension should make it clear that this is human-readable output The name of query sequence, Dmel.act5C, in this example The output file name has built into it several important pieces of information: So, I typically run the BLAST command from the folder where I want the output file to be. I do this because the query files and the databases are typically in different folders, and this keep things organized. The input files are all identified by their complete path from root. tblastn -query /research/drangeli/BLAST_DBs/query_sequences/ \ So typically you want to redirect that output to a named file.

Notice that the default is for BLAST to send its output to “stdout”, that is, the screen. blastn -query /path/ -db /path/BLASTdb > output.filename Once you know the variety of BLAST you need, the basic form of the command is: Which program ( blastn, blastp, blastx or tblastn ) you need to run depends to whether your search query is a nucleotide or amino acid (protein) sequence and whether you’re searching a database of nucleotide or protein sequences. “ BLAST+ ” is a suite of linux programs that run the different variations of the basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) algorithm.
