BLAST+ — Command-Line Sequence Search

Run local NCBI BLAST+ 2.17.0 searches end-to-end: build a database with makeblastdb, search it with blastn / blastp / blastx / tblastn, emit machine-parseable tabular output, and scope by taxonomy. For very large protein searches, hand off to DIAMOND blastp --ultra-sensitive (100x–10,000x the speed of BLAST, per the DIAMOND project). This is the CLI / local-database skill; it is deliberately distinct from the Biopython web API and the gget one-liner (see routing table below).

Bulk DB builds and large searches are CPU/IO-heavy and fully offline — good candidates to run on local compute rather than burning API calls.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the request involves any of:

  • "BLAST these sequences", "run blastn/blastp/blastx/tblastn", "command-line BLAST"
  • "build a local BLAST database", "makeblastdb", "index this FASTA for BLAST"
  • "search my reads against a local nt/nr database", "get tabular BLAST hits I can parse"
  • "scope the BLAST search to a taxon" (-taxids / -negative_taxids)
  • "BLAST is too slow on millions of proteins" → DIAMOND blastp
  • retrieving sequences out of a BLAST DB (blastdbcmd, requires -parse_seqids)

If the user explicitly says "web BLAST", "NCBIWWW", or "without installing anything", they want alterlab-biopython, not this skill.

Quick Start

# 1. Build a protein DB (‑parse_seqids enables blastdbcmd retrieval + DIAMOND reuse)
makeblastdb -in proteins.fasta -dbtype prot -parse_seqids -out mydb -title "my proteins"

# 2. Search, tabular output you can parse, std 12 columns
blastp -query query.faa -db mydb -outfmt 6 -evalue 1e-5 -out hits.tsv

# 3. QC / summarize the tabular output (stdlib only)
uv run python scripts/parse_blast_tab.py hits.tsv --best-hit

-outfmt 6 is the canonical machine-readable format; its default columns are the std set: qseqid sseqid pident length mismatch gapopen qstart qend sstart send evalue bitscore. Use -outfmt 7 for the same columns plus comment lines.

Choosing the Right Program

QuerySubject DBProgram
nucleotidenucleotideblastn
proteinproteinblastp
nucleotide (translated)proteinblastx
proteinnucleotide (translated)tblastn

-dbtype for makeblastdb is nucl for nucleotide subjects, prot for protein.

The Five Things People Get Wrong

  1. -max_target_seqs is NOT a "top N best hits" filter. It is the number of aligned sequences to keep, applied during the search as a heuristic cutoff; ties are broken "by order of sequences in the database", not by score. Setting -max_target_seqs 1 does not reliably return the single best hit. To get the best hit, keep a generous value and pick the top row after sorting by bitscore (see scripts/parse_blast_tab.py --best-hit). Default is 500.
  2. Wrong -task for blastn. megablast (default) is for highly similar sequences; use blastn for cross-species / more divergent hits and blastn-short for queries < ~30 nt (primers, sgRNAs). dc-megablast is the discontiguous option for inter-species comparison.
  3. Forgetting -parse_seqids at DB-build time. Without it you cannot pull sequences back out with blastdbcmd -entry, and DIAMOND cannot reuse the sequence IDs cleanly. You cannot add it later without rebuilding.
  4. Quoting the -outfmt custom column list for DIAMOND. BLAST+ wants the spec quoted (-outfmt '6 qseqid sseqid pident evalue'); DIAMOND wants it unquoted (--outfmt 6 qseqid sseqid pident evalue). Mixing these up is a common silent error.
  5. Multithreading. Use -num_threads N. For many small queries, set -mt_mode 1 (split by query) so all threads stay busy; -mt_mode 0 (default, split by database volume) suits few large queries. BLAST+ 2.15+ can choose automatically, but set it explicitly when in doubt.

Full option reference, taxonomy scoping, and DB-prep details: references/blast_cli.md.

Taxonomic Scoping

Restrict a search to (or away from) clades by NCBI taxid:

blastn -query q.fna -db nt -taxids 9606 -outfmt 6 -out human_only.tsv
blastp -query q.faa -db nr -negative_taxids 2 -outfmt 6 -out no_bacteria.tsv

Scoping by taxid requires a taxonomy-aware database (one built/downloaded with its *.taxid mapping, e.g. NCBI's pre-formatted nt / nr). See references/blast_cli.md.

DIAMOND — Fast Path for Large Protein Searches

When blastp / blastx against millions of proteins is too slow, DIAMOND is a drop-in for protein-space search:

diamond makedb --in nr.faa -d nr_diamond
diamond blastp -d nr_diamond -q query.faa -o hits.tsv \
  --ultra-sensitive --outfmt 6 qseqid sseqid pident length evalue bitscore

Sensitivity ladder (fast → most sensitive): --fast, --mid-sensitive, --sensitive, --more-sensitive, --very-sensitive, --ultra-sensitive. Use --ultra-sensitive when you need BLAST-comparable recall; default fast mode trades sensitivity for speed. DIAMOND's --outfmt 6 is compatible with the BLAST+ tabular parser below. Details and tradeoffs: references/diamond.md.

  1. Pick the program from the query/subject table above.
  2. Build the DB with makeblastdb -parse_seqids (or download a pre-formatted NCBI DB). For >~1M proteins, build a DIAMOND DB instead.
  3. Search with -outfmt 6, an explicit -evalue threshold, the right -task (blastn), and -num_threads. Add -taxids if scoping.
  4. Parse & QC with scripts/parse_blast_tab.py — it sorts by bitscore, extracts best-hit-per-query, applies identity/coverage/e-value filters, and flags the -max_target_seqs pitfall if the column count looks truncated.
  5. Retrieve any hit sequence with blastdbcmd -db mydb -entry <id> (needs -parse_seqids).

Verify Before Reporting

  • Confirm blastn -version / diamond version actually ran — never report hits you did not produce.
  • State the program, -task, -evalue, and DB used; results are meaningless without them.
  • If you used -max_target_seqs, confirm best-hit selection was done by post-hoc bitscore sort, not by trusting the keep-count as a top-N.
  • For DIAMOND results, note the sensitivity level used.

# BLAST+ — Command-Line Sequence Search

Run local NCBI **BLAST+ 2.17.0** searches end-to-end: build a database with
`makeblastdb`, search it with `blastn` / `blastp` / `blastx` / `tblastn`, emit
machine-parseable tabular output, and scope by taxonomy. For very large protein
searches, hand off to **DIAMOND** `blastp --ultra-sensitive` (100x–10,000x the
speed of BLAST, per the DIAMOND project). This is the **CLI / local-database**
skill; it is deliberately distinct from the Biopython web API and the gget
one-liner (see routing table below).

> Bulk DB builds and large searches are CPU/IO-heavy and fully offline — good

- "BLAST these sequences", "run blastn/blastp/blastx/tblastn", "command-line BLAST"
- "build a local BLAST database", "makeblastdb", "index this FASTA for BLAST"
- "search my reads against a local nt/nr database", "get tabular BLAST hits I can parse"
- "scope the BLAST search to a taxon" (`-taxids` / `-negative_taxids`)
- "BLAST is too slow on millions of proteins" → DIAMOND `blastp`
- retrieving sequences out of a BLAST DB (`blastdbcmd`, requires `-parse_seqids`)

makeblastdb -in proteins.fasta -dbtype prot -parse_seqids -out mydb -title "my proteins"

# 2. Search, tabular output you can parse, std 12 columns

`-outfmt 6` is the canonical machine-readable format; its default columns are
the `std` set: `qseqid sseqid pident length mismatch gapopen qstart qend sstart

| nucleotide | nucleotide | `blastn` |
| protein | protein | `blastp` |

| protein | nucleotide (translated) | `tblastn` |

`-dbtype` for `makeblastdb` is `nucl` for nucleotide subjects, `prot` for protein.

## The Five Things People Get Wrong

1. **`-max_target_seqs` is NOT a "top N best hits" filter.** It is the number of
   aligned sequences to *keep*, applied during the search as a heuristic cutoff;
   ties are broken "by order of sequences in the database", not by score. Setting

   `blastn-short` for queries < ~30 nt (primers, sgRNAs). `dc-megablast` is the
   discontiguous option for inter-species comparison.
3. **Forgetting `-parse_seqids` at DB-build time.** Without it you cannot pull
   sequences back out with `blastdbcmd -entry`, and DIAMOND cannot reuse the
   sequence IDs cleanly. You cannot add it later without rebuilding.
4. **Quoting the `-outfmt` custom column list for DIAMOND.** BLAST+ wants the

```bash
blastn -query q.fna -db nt -taxids 9606 -outfmt 6 -out human_only.tsv
blastp -query q.faa -db nr -negative_taxids 2 -outfmt 6 -out no_bacteria.tsv
```

Scoping by taxid requires a taxonomy-aware database (one built/downloaded with
its `*.taxid` mapping, e.g. NCBI's pre-formatted `nt` / `nr`). See
[`references/blast_cli.md`](references/blast_cli.md#taxonomy).

## DIAMOND — Fast Path for Large Protein Searches

When `blastp` / `blastx` against millions of proteins is too slow, DIAMOND is a
drop-in for protein-space search:

```bash
diamond makedb --in nr.faa -d nr_diamond
diamond blastp -d nr_diamond -q query.faa -o hits.tsv \
  --ultra-sensitive --outfmt 6 qseqid sseqid pident length evalue bitscore
```

Sensitivity ladder (fast → most sensitive): `--fast`, `--mid-sensitive`,
`--sensitive`, `--more-sensitive`, `--very-sensitive`, `--ultra-sensitive`.
Use `--ultra-sensitive` when you need BLAST-comparable recall; default fast mode
trades sensitivity for speed. DIAMOND's `--outfmt 6` is compatible with the
BLAST+ tabular parser below. Details and tradeoffs:
[`references/diamond.md`](references/diamond.md).

## Recommended Workflow

1. **Pick the program** from the query/subject table above.
2. **Build the DB** with `makeblastdb -parse_seqids` (or download a pre-formatted
   NCBI DB). For >~1M proteins, build a DIAMOND DB instead.
3. **Search** with `-outfmt 6`, an explicit `-evalue` threshold, the right
   `-task` (blastn), and `-num_threads`. Add `-taxids` if scoping.
4. **Parse & QC** with `scripts/parse_blast_tab.py` — it sorts by bitscore,
   extracts best-hit-per-query, applies identity/coverage/e-value filters, and
   flags the `-max_target_seqs` pitfall if the column count looks truncated.
5. **Retrieve** any hit sequence with
   `blastdbcmd -db mydb -entry <id>` (needs `-parse_seqids`).

Skill purpose: 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_mode multithreading; plus a DIAMOND blastp --ultra-sensitive path for large protein searches. Warns that -max_target_seqs is a heuristic keep-count, not a top-N best-hits filter. Use when the user wants command-line BLAST, makeblastdb, a local BLAST database, blastn/blastp/blastx/tblastn searches, or DIAMOND protein search.
