Blast++/Example

As an example for a blast++ job, we are doing a simple query of the sequence test.fasta

[sfux@eu-login-06 ~]$ cat test.fasta 
>sequence1
MIKKIGVLTSGGDAPGMNAAIRGVVRSALTEGLEVMGIYDGYLGLYEDRMVQLDRYSVSD

and compare it against the nt database.

[sfux@eu-login-06 ~]$ module load gcc/4.8.2 blast/2.2.30
[sfux@eu-login-06 ~]$ bsub -n 1 -W 4:00 -R "rusage[mem=2048]" "blastp -query test.fasta -out output.blast.txt -db nr"
#Generic job.

[sfux@eu-login-06 ~]$ bjobs

[sfux@eu-login-06 ~]$ bjobs
No unfinished job found

The result is then written to the output file output.blast.txt:

[sfux@eu-login-06 ~]$ sed -n '25,40p' output.blast.txt
