BLAST
The CLC Science Server supports running BLAST jobs. Users will be able to submit BLAST jobs to be run on the Genomics Server; they will be able to select data from Server data locations to search against other sequences held in Server data locations, or against BLAST databases stored in an area configured as an import/export directory.
From a Workbench user's perspective, they will see two categories of data to search against when they are setting up their BLAST job. These are shown in figure 7.1:
- Select from among the databases located on the Server. (This option is described in detail below.)
- Select sequences from the Navigation Area to search against. Here, users choose from data stored in a Server data location. A temporary database is then created from that data in your temporary area. Once the BLAST job is complete, temporary blast databases are deleted.
