The BLAST service integrates the BLAST (Basic Local Aligment Search Tool) algorithms to perform searches against against public or private genomes in BV-BRC or other reference databases using a DNA or protein sequence and find matching genomes, genes, RNAs, or proteins.
This module is a component of the BV-BRC build system. It is designed to fit into the
dev_container infrastructure which manages development and production deployment of
the components of the BV-BRC. More documentation is available here.
This module provides the following application specfication(s):
It also provides tooling to build and maintain the precomputed BLAST databases based on the BV-BRC genome database.
