bl2seq

Open audy opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

Would it be within sequenceserver's scope to support "bl2seq" and/or user-provided databases for 1-off searching?

The server would have to take care of building the blast database upon job submission but otherwise it would be pretty simple.

Sure. I would try the -subject option first instead of creating a blastdb.

For 1-off searching I put the FASTA in a temp directory and run sequenceserver -d ~/tmp/. This prompts to create blastdb - press enter enter enter - server is ready - blast.

Duplicate #124.

That seems like a better option. Forgot about this flag.

For 1-off searching I put the FASTA in a temp directory and run sequenceserver -d ~/tmp/. This prompts to create blastdb - press enter enter enter - server is ready - blast.

At that point I might as well just use the command line 😀 . The point of adding this to sequence server is being able to do it from the API/web-interface.

Would you accept a PR to add at least an API endpoint for this?

Go for it. I will do the UI part after you.

Btw, the plan is to release master over the summer to align with @aniarya82's GSoC work (extending and improving visualisations in SequenceServer).

Very useful feature, I wonder if there are any progress till now?
