I am working on a research about blastp. I wanted to run the benchmark that exists in the path ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/demo/benchmark/ and I was wondering where can I find the original fasta benchmark database file before makeblastdb was run and I could only find the nr file in the db/fasta directory ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/fasta but not the subset benchmark. Will you please guide me to where I can find the benchmark fasta file.

All the information you need (queries, database etc) is in the tar file: ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/dem...ark2013.tar.gz -
The tar file contains the preformatted database files but I need the database before formatting because I want to call makeblastdb with sorting option to sort database sequencesComment

You can extract sequences from the pre-formatted database by doing the following:
Code:$ blastdbcmd -db ./benchmark.aa -entry all -outfmt '%f' > protein_seq $ blastdbcmd -db ./benchmark.nt -entry all -outfmt '%f' > nuc_seq

Thank you so much. I am using this benchmark for psiblast not blastp. Do you know any benchmark for psi.Comment

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.
