The BLAST binaries contain the formatdb utility which is all you need to generate the indices prior to running BLAST
formatdb -p F -d hg18.fa
Would index the nucleotide file (-p F specifies that this is (F)alse for (p)rotein) named hg81.fa

Database of BLAST
Hello, everyone.
Now I am doing alignment using BLAST. I want to align some sequences (FASTA format) against human chromosome. I used HG18 from UCSC (<http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg18/chromosomes/>) before with Bowtie. Are there pre-processed db on the FTP of BLAST (ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/), which is built from HG18? I am a freshman to Bio...
Thanks a lot.

The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.
This convergence of genetics, immunology, and computation...09-01-2026, 05:41 AM
