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/
Running Program
Also refer to Running Jobs on Sapelo2
For more information on Environment Modules on Sapelo please see the Lmod page. 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. Datasets are located in the commonly shared "/db" filesystem. NCBI BLAST datasets are pre-formatted to work with BLAST and BLAST+ and are located in "/db/ncbiblast/" and are organized by date.
To use BLAST+ version 2.13.0, please first load the module, for example:
module load BLAST+/2.13.0-gompi-2022a
Example of a shell script sub.sh to run blastn on the batch partition:
#!/bin/bash #SBATCH --job-name=j_BLAST+ #SBATCH --partition=batch #SBATCH --mail-type=ALL #SBATCH --mail-user=username@uga.edu #SBATCH --ntasks=1 #SBATCH --mem=10gb #SBATCH --time=08:00:00 #SBATCH --output=BLAST+.%j.out #SBATCH --error=BLAST+.%j.err cd $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR ml BLAST+/2.13.0-gompi-2022a ml ncbiblastdb/20230802 blastn [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
sbatch ./sub.sh
Running BLAST+ with multiple threads
Some BLAST+ commands, such as blastn, have the option to use multiple threads with the -num_threads option. Each thread should be run on one core, so the number of cpus you should request should be equal to -num_threads + 1. This accounts for the number of worker threads plus one main process thread.
To request cores, use the slurm header #SBATCH --cpus-per-task.
Below is an example, with -num_threads 8
#!/bin/bash #SBATCH --job-name=j_BLAST+_multithread #SBATCH --partition=batch #SBATCH --mail-type=ALL #SBATCH --mail-user=username@uga.edu #SBATCH --ntasks=1 #SBATCH --cpus-per-task=9 #SBATCH --mem=10gb #SBATCH --time=08:00:00 #SBATCH --output=BLAST+.%j.out #SBATCH --error=BLAST+.%j.err cd $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR ml BLAST+/2.13.0-gompi-2022a ml ncbiblastdb/20230802 blastn -num_threads 8 -query example.fasta -out results.out -db nt
