I have successfully installed and run a localized Blast2Go using Java Web Start. However my professor want to run Blast2Go offline on a sever with no internet connection. Can this be done?

I think that it's not possible. The java web start application is only a client software. So it have to be connected to the Blast2GO server. If you wanna do the analysis on your server only, without internet connection, you have to download blast software to your own machine.
I'm new about blast so.. could anyone correct me if i'm wrong? :-P

Next you must do the BLAST searches off-line - you can download the NCBI standalone BLAST tools and the NR database to do this. The hard part is you must also setup a local BLAST2GO database to map the BLAST results to GO terms. See http://www.blast2go.com/b2glaunch/re.../35-localb2gdb and other pages on their website.

A key point is you must change the Blast2GO configuration (e.g. via the GUI, or editing the configuration file manually) to connect to your local database (with the appropriate password etc) rather than the server in Spain. If your local database is on a separate machine, you may also need to check your firewall settings.

Do you Know if the step need to configure Blast2Go so it connects to the local database is writen in http://www.blast2go.com/b2glaunch/re.../35-localb2gdb?
Which JAVA application do I need to download? Is the NCBI standalone BLAST tool wwwBlast? Finally where can I find the NR database?

I use the command line version of NCBI BLAST, I would suggest using BLAST+ since the NCBI have now discontinued the older 'legacy' BLAST suite:
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/exe...blast+/LATEST/

There is a README file there which explains this. You will need nr.00.tar.gz, ..., nt.12.tar.gz (at the moment - as the NR database grows it will in future come in more pieces). Each of these is a tarball (compressed file) which you must unpack in the same directory.
You should read the BLAST+ documentation as soon as possible.

This is different to Blast2GO for Pipelines (b2g4pipe) which comes as a JAR file intended to be run directly (which is what we are using locally via a Galaxy wrapper to serve as an end user interface, talking to either a local Blast2GO database or the one in Spain):

Regarding installing and using BLAST+, I suggest you first search these forums (and try Google), and if you are still stuck start a new thread about that. Remember to include important details like which OS you are using, where you downloaded BLAST+ from (the URL including the filename), and how you installed it.

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...-

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...-
