Description

Basic Local Alignment Search Tool, or BLAST, is an algorithm for comparing primary biological sequence information, such as the amino-acid sequences of different proteins or the nucleotides of DNA sequences. More information: http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/

To find all versions of BLAST+ installed on Sapelo2, please use module spider command to do a search, as shown below:

module spider BLAST+

NCBI databases are available at Sapelo2, please refer to Bioinformatics_Databases for more details.


To use BLAST+ version 2.7.1, please first load the module, for example:

module load BLAST+/2.7.1-foss-2016b-Python-2.7.14


Example of a shell script sub.sh to run on at the batch queue:

#PBS -S /bin/bash
#PBS -N j-blast_trn
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=4:AMD
#PBS -q batch
#PBS -l walltime=480:00:00
#PBS -l mem=20gb

cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR

module load BLAST+/2.7.1-foss-2016b-Python-2.7.14
blastn -num_threads 4 -db /db/ncbiblast/nrte/latest/nt [options] 

Example of a shell script sub.sh for output format 6, taxdb is installed and documented at wiki page TaxDB:

#PBS -S /bin/bash
#PBS -N j-blast_trn
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=4:AMD
#PBS -q batch
#PBS -l walltime=480:00:00
#PBS -l mem=20gb

cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR

module load BLAST+/2.7.1-foss-2016b-Python-2.7.14
BLASTDB=$BLASTDB:/db/taxdb/latest/
blastn -num_threads 4 -outfmt "6 std qcovs salltitles sscinames" [options] 

where [options] need to be replaced by the options (command and arguments) you want to use. Other parameters of the job, such as the maximum wall clock time, maximum memory, the number of nodes and cores per node, and the job name need to be modified appropriately as well.


Submit the job to the queue with

qsub ./sub.sh
