Galaxy datatypes for NCBI BLAST+ suite
======================================

These Galaxy datatypes are copyright 2010-2012 by Peter Cock, The James Hutton
Institute (formerly SCRI, Scottish Crop Research Institute), UK. All rights reserved.
See the licence text below.

Note that these files (and the associated BLAST+ wrappers) were originally
distributed as part of the main Galaxy repository, but as of August 2012 moved
to the Galaxy Tool Shed as 'blast_datatypes' (and 'ncbi_blast_plus' for the
wrappers). My thanks to Dannon Baker from the Galaxy development team for his
assistance with this.


Installation
============

Doing this automatically via the Galaxy Tool Shed is probably simplest.


History
=======

These versions numbers match those for 'ncbi_blast_plus', but are not used
explicitly in the datatypes themselves.

v0.0.11 - Final revision as part of the Galaxy main repository, and the
          first release via the Tool Shed


Developers
==========

BLAST+ datatypes and wrappers, and other tools are being developed on the
following hg branch: http://bitbucket.org/peterjc/galaxy-central/src/tools

For making the "Galaxy Tool Shed" http://community.g2.bx.psu.edu/ tarball I use
the following command from the Galaxy tools/ncbi_blast_plus folder:

$ tar -czf blast_datatypes.tar.gz datatypes_conf.txt datatypes_conf.xml xml.py

Check this worked:

$ tar -tzf blast_datatypes.tar.gz
datatypes_conf.txt
datatypes_conf.xml
xml.py
