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 human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...02-24-2025, 06:31 AM
