| 4 | 1 #This is a sample file distributed with Galaxy that is used to define a | 
|  | 2 #list of protein BLAST databases, using three columns tab separated | 
|  | 3 #(longer whitespace are TAB characters): | 
|  | 4 # | 
|  | 5 #<unique_id>	<database_caption>	<base_name_path> | 
|  | 6 # | 
|  | 7 #The captions typically contain spaces and might end with the build date. | 
|  | 8 #It is important that the actual database name does not have a space in | 
|  | 9 #it, and that there are only two tabs on each line. | 
|  | 10 # | 
|  | 11 #So, for example, if your database is NR and the path to your base name | 
|  | 12 #is /data/blastdb/nr, then the blastdb_p.loc entry would look like this: | 
|  | 13 # | 
|  | 14 #nr{tab}NCBI NR (non redundant){tab}/data/blastdb/nr | 
|  | 15 # | 
|  | 16 #and your /data/blastdb directory would contain all of the files associated | 
|  | 17 #with the database, /data/blastdb/nr.*. | 
|  | 18 # | 
|  | 19 #Your blastdb_p.loc file should include an entry per line for each "base name" | 
|  | 20 #you have stored. For example: | 
|  | 21 # | 
|  | 22 #nr_05Jun2010	NCBI NR (non redundant) 05 Jun 2010	/data/blastdb/05Jun2010/nr | 
|  | 23 #nr_15Aug2010	NCBI NR (non redundant) 15 Aug 2010	/data/blastdb/15Aug2010/nr | 
|  | 24 #...etc... | 
|  | 25 # | 
| 9 | 26 #You can download the NCBI provided protein databases like NR from here: | 
|  | 27 #ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/ | 
|  | 28 # | 
| 4 | 29 #See also blastdb.loc which is for any nucleotide BLAST database, and | 
|  | 30 #blastdb_d.loc which is for any protein domains databases (like CDD). |
