Dear Yaximik,
apologies that SequenceServer isn't meeting your requirements. I think most users considering performing 16,000 BLAST queries will prefer using the command line over a graphical user interface.
Our aim with SequenceServer is to make BLASTing custom databases as accessible as possible to novice users. We cannot at this time provide all the features (e.g. in terms of output format & processing) that would satisfy power users and experienced bioinformaticians such as yourself.
Regarding your message to the mailing list - somehow it was autoclassified as spam by google groups but is now visible to all.
All the best & kind regards,
Yannick

Ah, OK. In my case this data directory is in the same directory where all wwwblast executables and .cgi scripts are located, this is as installed following installation instructions. I should try to transfer .ncbirc to the same directory as this makes more sense. The blast installation directory has some ncbi_blast.rc file, which does not seem to have any meaningful role as its content makes little sense.

Hi, based on your question "any replacement for the web interface functionality of wwwblast".
You may try:
a. SynaBlast - single query submission - http://synasite.mgrc.com.my/synasuit...enu.jsp?modN=1
b. SynaBlastMega - multiple query submission - http://synasite.mgrc.com.my/apps/syn..._BlastMega.jsp
Hope it helps

In my case it is in the same directory as the blast.REAL cgi program.
Code:Data=/usr/local/bin/blast/data
PAM70 PAM30 BLOSUM80 BLOSUM62 BLOSUM45
I assume that works, but I admit I am not 100% sure about that.

blast+ web interface
Thanks. NCBI helpdesk responded to my problem with suggestion that I have not enabled CGI execution in httpd.conf, so when I did it appeared to solve the problem. However, I am still getting a lot of "No hits found", so I guess something is still wrong. In this regard - where .ncbirc should be located? It is in my home directory (as user) - should it be where wwwblast execs are located? I have correct BLASTDB assignment in .ncbirc, but what is
Code:[NCBI] Data=/usr/local/bin/blast/data
In more general sense, I asked NCBI help desk guy that responded if there is/will be ever a web interface for blast+ similar to what one gets when uses online access. The answer was "I am afraid not". Man, that sucks, huh? So I guess CLI is the only option to use local install of blast2.2.27+ suite - I have not looked at Sequenceserver yet, but I am going to.Last edited by yaximik; 12-26-2012, 05:27 PM.

wwwblast (i.e. blast.REAL) does not use any of the blast+ programs, it is completely standalone.
I have found the tricky part is configuring the file .ncbirc (which is a hidden file) and blast.rc because instead of error messages you may just get "no hits found"
There seems to be no example .ncbirc in the distribution, here is mine:
Code:[NCBI] Data=/usr/local/bin/blast/data [BLAST] BLASTDB=/home/blastdbs

I found this thread looking for help with deploying wwwblast. I downloaded and installed the latest blast+ (2.2.27+), downloaded preformatted databases, and installed the latest wwwblast (2.2.26) on my 64bit RHEL box, and deployed Apache. Blast+ works from CLI, wwwblast is accessible both locally and remotely, but wwwblast does not seem to go further than just accepting data. I presume that wwwblast is just front end of actual blast+ and invokes installed programs as needed. But I am not clear how wwwblast is connected to blast+ programs as I could not find any explanation in instructions, which I simply followed. As wwwblast does not perform the intended job, it appears I have missed something important. Please advise.

Note that BLAST 2.2.26 is the final release of the legacy BLAST toolkit, from now on it will be BLAST+ only.

Our solution was to use the BLAST+ binaries via a local Galaxy server, see http://getgalaxy.org
Currently only the core BLAST options are exposed in the wrapper (feedback welcome, ideally on the galaxy-devel mailing list), but by integrating BLAST+ into Galaxy you can do things like filtering the results and downstream analysis.
This is particularly nice for BLAST'ing multiple query sequences at once, something wwwblast doesn't allow (IIRC).

Is there a replacement for wwwblast using new blastx+ toolkit
Either my Google powers are weak, or there is no update to NCBI's wwwblast since they changed over to the blast+ toolkit, i.e. since 2004.
So my question is, is there any replacement for the web interface functionality of wwwblast, that is, the graphical overview. It would be fairly easy to write a cgi wrapper for blast+, except the image of the blast hits would be missing.
Or am I doomed to keep using the old wwwblast (which still works, of course).

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
