Question: How to install and work with local blast??
Hi! I have downloaded the latest version of blast+ from the FTP site. I know upto changing the directory and it came to bin.. How can i run the sequences? I read user manual but i cant understood.. help me
Note: If your command line begins with "blastall", then you're running the older (not +) BLAST. Otherwise, if it begins with a BLAST program command such as blastn, then it's BLAST+.
