Making Your Own BLAST databases

BLAST Database Creatation

We used BLAST databases of the sample FASTA files to decrease runtime and save on storage space. Each FASTA has its own database files made from it. Please see the following command if you would like to make your BLAST database files:

makeblastdb -in <sample_file> -dbtype nucl -out /path/to/out_dir/<sample_file> -title -sequence
