![]() Query-centric alignment: Returns one alignment for each query, showing the hits aligned against the query sequence. This is suitable for less than 100 queries. Each query displays a separate table and is also viewable as a query-centric alignment. Hit table: Returns one alignment for every hit against the database and displays them in a hit table. Three options are available for displaying your results: ![]() Tblastx: Compares the six-frame translations of a nucleotide query sequence against the six-frame translations of a nucleotide sequence database. Tblastn: Compares a protein query sequence against a nucleotide sequence database dynamically translated in all reading frames. You could use this option to find potential translation products of an unknown nucleotide sequence. It will find more dissimilar matches so it is ideal for cross-species comparison.īlastp: Compares an amino acid query sequence against a protein sequence database.īlastx: Compares a nucleotide query sequence translated in all reading frames against a protein sequence database. Megablast: A variation on blastn that is faster but only finds matches with high similarity.ĭiscontiguous Megablast: A variation on blastn that is slower but more sensitive. Geneious Prime can perform seven different kinds of BLAST search:īlastn: Compares a nucleotide query sequence against a nucleotide sequence database. The available programs will depend on the database you have chosen. Then choose which kind of BLAST search you wish to run under Program. Databases are grouped together under their respective services. Select your database using the first drop-down box. If you choose to enter your sequence manually, then Geneious will display a large text box in which you can enter your query sequence as either unformatted text or FASTA format. You can choose to BLAST either your currently selected sequence documents or a sequence you enter manually. This operation can also be accessed by going to the Tools menu or by right-clicking (Ctrl+click on Mac OS X) on a sequence document and choosing BLAST. To run a BLAST search in Geneious Prime, select your query sequence or sequences and click the BLAST button in the toolbar. Sequences can be BLAST-ed against databases held at NCBI (see NCBI BLAST), or contained within your local Geneious database ( Custom BLAST). When "BLAST-ing", you are able to specify either nucleotide or protein sequences and nucleotide sequences can be either DNA or RNA sequences. It allows you to query a sequence database with a sequence in order to find entries in the database that contain similar sequences. ![]() BLAST stands for Basic Local Alignment Search Tool ( Altschul et al 1990). ![]()
