ncbi-blast+-legacy

NCBI Blast legacy call script

This package adds some fake scripts to call NCBI+ programs with the NCBI blast command line. It makes use of the legacy_blast script in ncbi-blast+ package. To use those scripts, /usr/share/ncbi-blast+/bin must be added to the PATH.

blast2

Basic Local Alignment Search Tool

The famous sequence alignment program. This is "official" NCBI version, #2. The blastall executable allows you to give a nucleotide or protein sequence to the program. It is compared against databases and a summary of matches is returned to the user. Note that databases are not included in Debian; they must be retrieved manually.
