For very large protein\nsearches, hand off to **DIAMOND** `blastp --ultra-sensitive` (100x–10,000x the\nspeed of BLAST, per the DIAMOND project). This is the **CLI / local-database**\nskill; it is deliberately distinct from the Biopython web API and the gget\none-liner (see routing table below).\n\n> Bulk DB builds and large searches are CPU/IO-heavy and fully offline — good\n> candidates to run on local compute rather than burning API calls.\n\n## When to Use This Skill\n\nUse this skill when the request involves any of:\n\n- \"BLAST these sequences\", \"run blastn/blastp/blastx/tblastn\", \"command-line BLAST\"\n- \"build a local BLAST database\", \"makeblastdb\", \"index this FASTA for BLAST\"\n- \"search my reads against a local nt/nr database\", \"get tabular BLAST hits I can parse\"\n- \"scope the BLAST search to a taxon\" (`-taxids` / `-negative_taxids`)\n- \"BLAST is too slow on millions of proteins\" → DIAMOND `blastp`\n- retrieving sequences out of a BLAST DB (`blastdbcmd`, requires `-parse_seqids`)\n\n### Does NOT Trigger\n\nRoute adjacent requests to the right sibling skill instead of forcing BLAST+:\n\n| The request is really about… | Route to |\n|------------------------------|----------|\n| The **web** BLAST API (`Bio.Blast.NCBIWWW.qblast`), or scripting BLAST inside a Python pipeline with `Bio.Blast` parsing | `alterlab-biopython` |\n| A **quick one-liner** BLAST/database lookup (`gget blast`, gene/structure/enrichment lookups) | `alterlab-gget` |\n| Unified programmatic access to many bio web services (UniProt, KEGG, Ensembl REST, NCBI eUtils) | `alterlab-bioservices` |\n| Building/searching a **phylogenetic tree** from sequences, not a similarity search | `alterlab-phylogenetics` |\n| Read alignment to a reference genome (BWA/minimap2 → BAM) and SAM/BAM handling | `alterlab-pysam` |\n| FASTQ→VCF variant calling pipeline | `alterlab-nf-core-sarek` |\n| Transcript-level RNA-seq quantification (salmon/kallisto) | `alterlab-rnaseq-quant` |\n| 16S/ITS amplicon classification (QIIME 2) | `alterlab-qiime2-amplicon` |\n| Protein **structure** prediction / embeddings (ESM, AlphaFold) | `alterlab-esm` |\n\nIf the user explicitly says \"web BLAST\", \"NCBIWWW\", or \"without installing\nanything\", they want `alterlab-biopython`, not this skill.\n\n## Quick Start\n\n```bash\n# 1. Build a protein DB (‑parse_seqids enables blastdbcmd retrieval + DIAMOND reuse)\nmakeblastdb -in proteins.fasta -dbtype prot -parse_seqids -out mydb -title \"my proteins\"\n\n# 2. Search, tabular output you can parse, std 12 columns\nblastp -query query.faa -db mydb -outfmt 6 -evalue 1e-5 -out hits.tsv\n\n# 3. QC / summarize the tabular output (stdlib only)\nuv run python scripts/parse_blast_tab.py hits.tsv --best-hit\n```\n\n`-outfmt 6` is the canonical machine-readable format; its default columns are\nthe `std` set: `qseqid sseqid pident length mismatch gapopen qstart qend sstart\nsend evalue bitscore`. Use `-outfmt 7` for the same columns plus comment lines.\n\n## Choosing the Right Program\n\n| Query | Subject DB | Program |\n|-------|-----------|---------|\n| nucleotide | nucleotide | `blastn` |\n| protein | protein | `blastp` |\n| nucleotide (translated) | protein | `blastx` |\n| protein | nucleotide (translated) | `tblastn` |\n\n`-dbtype` for `makeblastdb` is `nucl` for nucleotide subjects, `prot` for protein.\n\n## The Five Things People Get Wrong\n\n1. **`-max_target_seqs` is NOT a \"top N best hits\" filter.** It is the number of\n   aligned sequences to *keep*, applied during the search as a heuristic cutoff;\n   ties are broken \"by order of sequences in the database\", not by score. Setting\n   `-max_target_seqs 1` does **not** reliably return the single best hit. To get\n   the best hit, keep a generous value and pick the top row *after* sorting by\n   bitscore (see `scripts/parse_blast_tab.py --best-hit`). Default is 500.\n2. **Wrong `-task` for `blastn`.** `megablast` (default) is for highly similar\n   sequences; use `blastn` for cross-species / more divergent hits and\n   `blastn-short` for queries < ~30 nt (primers, sgRNAs). `dc-megablast` is the\n   discontiguous option for inter-species comparison.\n3. **Forgetting `-parse_seqids` at DB-build time.** Without it you cannot pull\n   sequences back out with `blastdbcmd -entry`, and DIAMOND cannot reuse the\n   sequence IDs cleanly. You cannot add it later without rebuilding.\n4. **Quoting the `-outfmt` custom column list for DIAMOND.** BLAST+ wants the\n   spec quoted (`-outfmt '6 qseqid sseqid pident evalue'`); **DIAMOND wants it\n   unquoted** (`--outfmt 6 qseqid sseqid pident evalue`). Mixing these up is a\n   common silent error.\n5. **Multithreading.** Use `-num_threads N`. For *many small queries*, set\n   `-mt_mode 1` (split by query) so all threads stay busy; `-mt_mode 0` (default,\n   split by database volume) suits few large queries. BLAST+ 2.15+ can choose\n   automatically, but set it explicitly when in doubt.\n\nFull option reference, taxonomy scoping, and DB-prep details:\n[`references/blast_cli.md`](references/blast_cli.md).\n\n## Taxonomic Scoping\n\nRestrict a search to (or away from) clades by NCBI taxid:\n\n```bash\nblastn -query q.fna -db nt -taxids 9606 -outfmt 6 -out human_only.tsv\nblastp -query q.faa -db nr -negative_taxids 2 -outfmt 6 -out no_bacteria.tsv\n```\n\nScoping by taxid requires a taxonomy-aware database (one built/downloaded with\nits `*.taxid` mapping, e.g. NCBI's pre-formatted `nt` / `nr`). See\n[`references/blast_cli.md`](references/blast_cli.md#taxonomy).\n\n## DIAMOND — Fast Path for Large Protein Searches\n\nWhen `blastp` / `blastx` against millions of proteins is too slow, DIAMOND is a\ndrop-in for protein-space search:\n\n```bash\ndiamond makedb --in nr.faa -d nr_diamond\ndiamond blastp -d nr_diamond -q query.faa -o hits.tsv \\\n  --ultra-sensitive --outfmt 6 qseqid sseqid pident length evalue bitscore\n```\n\nSensitivity ladder (fast → most sensitive): `--fast`, `--mid-sensitive`,\n`--sensitive`, `--more-sensitive`, `--very-sensitive`, `--ultra-sensitive`.\nUse `--ultra-sensitive` when you need BLAST-comparable recall; default fast mode\ntrades sensitivity for speed. DIAMOND's `--outfmt 6` is compatible with the\nBLAST+ tabular parser below. Details and tradeoffs:\n[`references/diamond.md`](references/diamond.md).\n\n## Recommended Workflow\n\n1. **Pick the program** from the query/subject table above.\n2. **Build the DB** with `makeblastdb -parse_seqids` (or download a pre-formatted\n   NCBI DB). For >~1M proteins, build a DIAMOND DB instead.\n3. **Search** with `-outfmt 6`, an explicit `-evalue` threshold, the right\n   `-task` (blastn), and `-num_threads`. Add `-taxids` if scoping.\n4. **Parse & QC** with `scripts/parse_blast_tab.py` — it sorts by bitscore,\n   extracts best-hit-per-query, applies identity/coverage/e-value filters, and\n   flags the `-max_target_seqs` pitfall if the column count looks truncated.\n5. **Retrieve** any hit sequence with\n   `blastdbcmd -db mydb -entry <id>` (needs `-parse_seqids`).\n\n## Verify Before Reporting\n\n- Confirm `blastn -version` / `diamond version` actually ran — never report hits\n  you did not produce.\n- State the program, `-task`, `-evalue`, and DB used; results are meaningless\n  without them.\n- If you used `-max_target_seqs`, confirm best-hit selection was done by\n  *post-hoc bitscore sort*, not by trusting the keep-count as a top-N.\n- For DIAMOND results, note the sensitivity level used.\n\n## References\n\n- [`references/blast_cli.md`](references/blast_cli.md) — full BLAST+ 2.17.0 option\n  reference: programs, `makeblastdb`, `-outfmt` columns, `-task`, taxonomy\n  scoping, `-mt_mode`, `blastdbcmd` retrieval, and the `-max_target_seqs` caveat.\n- [`references/diamond.md`](references/diamond.md) — DIAMOND DB build, sensitivity\n  modes, output formats, and when to choose it over BLAST+.\n- NCBI BLAST+ manual: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK569856/\n- DIAMOND: https://github.com/bbuchfink/diamond\n\nPart of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.\n","tagline":"Runs NCBI BLAST+ 2.17.0 sequence searches from the command line: makeblastdb (with -parse_seqids), blastn/blastp/blastx/tblastn with tabular -outfmt 6/7 for parsing, correct -task choice (megablast vs blastn vs blastn-short), -taxids/-negative_taxids taxonomic scoping, and -mt_mo","category":"research","tags":["agent-skill"],"author":"AlterLab-IEU","verified":false,"attribution":{"status":"registry_indexed","statusLabel":"Registry indexed","shortLabel":"REGISTRY INDEXED","sourceLabel":"recursive skill source sync","sourceDetail":"AlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-Skills","creatorName":"AlterLab-IEU","creatorUrl":"https://github.com/AlterLab-IEU","sourceUrl":"https://github.com/AlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-Skills/tree/main/skills/bioinformatics/alterlab-blast","indexedBy":"OpenAgentSkill community index","claimUrl":"https://www.openagentskill.com/skills/alterlab-ieu-alterlab-blast#claim-this-skill","claimCta":"Claim this skill","trustNote":"This listing was indexed from public sources and is not marked official until a maintainer claim is approved.","publicNote":"Attribution links to the public repository or creator profile.
