    RDP database

    Can I download RDP database from NCBI? There are some database on NCBI ftp (e.g.16SMicrobial.tar.gz, refseq_rna.00.tar.gz). Are these NCBI own database or they are from other sources (just in NCBI format)

    I try to download RDP database from here (http://rdp.cme.msu.edu/misc/resources.jsp)

    However, after I download it, I am not sure which format (or database) I should use.

    I want to use BLASTn to blast my sequences data and my data are not aligned. Should I use Unaligned database from the website?

    Also, should I use "Genbank, unaligned". What does Genebank mean on the website? Does it mean RDP_10_32 database in genebank format? or It means the NCBI rRNA database. Can I use it directly for blastn command? or I need to convert the database to NCBI request database.

    Best regards,
    Ben

    If you start with the release10_32_unaligned.fa FASTA format file you will have to create a blast database from it. You can't directly use it for blastn. Instructions on how to create a blastable database from a fasta (makeblastdb) file are available at the blast command line help page: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1763/

    release10_32_unaligned.gb appears to have the same sequences in GenBank format.

      What are those aligned databases for? Are they better for blast?

        Pathogen Surveillance with Advanced Genomic Tools
        by seqadmin




        The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...
