This is a
wrapper script around the formatdb program provided by NCBI with the
command-line BLAST. The wrapper script is needed to create user-friendly
names for the sequences in the database.
Arguments
Fasta file containing
sequences to be converted into a BLAST-able database.
*These files are used by BLAST and should be placed in your BLASTDB directory (see the NCBI website
for instructions on setting up BLAST). If you choose not to do
so, you must explicitly specify their location when running the
blast.pl script.
