The NCBI Datasets datasets command line tools are datasets and dataformat .

Use datasets to download biological sequence data across all domains of life from NCBI.

Use dataformat to convert metadata from JSON Lines format to other formats.

The Indian scientists working in Bangalore, along with their American counterparts, have mapped more than 17,000 proteins in 30 organs of the human body. Just like the human genome was sequenced around the turn of the millennium, this is an equivalent mapping of the human proteome.

The researcher estimated there are around 20,500 proteins in the human body. These scientists have profiled around 17,294, which account for around 84% of the total proteins. Apart from this, the team also traced around 2,500 of 3,000 proteins that had been categorised as "missing proteins".

The work, done by group of Indian scientists, and Johns Hopkins University, published in the renowned journal Nature ( http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v509/n7502/full/nature13302.html ). Of the 72 people who worked on the project, 46 are Indians.

NCBI Hackathon specifically looking for folks who have experience in computational virus hunting or adjacent fields to identify known, taxonomically-definable and novel viruses from a few hundred thousand metagenomic datasets that we’ll put on cloud infrastructure. This event is for researchers, including students and postdocs, who are already engaged in the use of bioinformatics data or in the development of pipelines for virological analyses from high-throughput experiments. If this describes you, please apply! The event is open to anyone selected for the hackathon and willing to travel to SDSU (see below).

As mentioned before, working with BLAST+ in Docker and the cloud has several advantages:

• Docker manages installation and maintenance of the BLAST programs and databases.
• Docker makes it is easier to integrate BLAST with other tools in your pipelines.
• NCBI BLAST databases are pre-loaded now on the both the Google Cloud and Amazon Cloud, providing fast access.

You can also use the BLAST+ Docker image on any Docker-enabled platform, such as another cloud platform or on your local computer.

See the  BLAST+ in the Cloud and  database information documentation to get started.

If you have any questions, please email us at blast-help@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

What’s included in this release?

As of July 8, 2024, this full release incorporates genomic, transcript, and protein data containing:

• 448,507,905 records
• 334,845,613 proteins
• 63,542,774 RNAs
• Sequences from 152,668 organisms

The release is provided in several directories as a complete dataset and also as divided by logical groupings.

Shell history search command

Type history at a shell prompt:
$ history

It will display the list of all used commandline history with an serial number.

To search particular command, enter:
$ history | grep command-name
$ history | egrep -i 'scp|ssh|ftp'
Emacs Line-Edit Mode Command History Searching

To get previous command containing string, hit [CTRL]+[r] followed by search string:

(reverse-i-search):

To get previous command, hit [CTRL]+[p]. You can also use up arrow key.

CTRL-p

To get next command, hit [CTRL]+[n]. You can also use down arrow key.

CTRL-n

fc command

Apart from hostory command there are fc command to extract the command from history. The fc stands for either "find command" or "fix command.

For example list last 10 command, enter:
$ fc -l 10
To list commands 130 through 150, enter:
$ fc -l 130 150
To list all commands since the last command beginning with ssh, enter:
$ fc -l ssh
You can edit commands 1 through 5 using vi text editor, enter:
$ fc -e vi 1 5

Delete command history

The -c option causes the history list to be cleared by deleting all of the entries:
$ history -c
