When manually downloading preformatted databases, those compressed archives must be downloaded in binary format using the passive mode, then inflated with <b><i>gunzip</i></b> or other decompress utilities. The working database files can then be extracted out of the resulting tar archive using <i>tar</i> program in Unix/Linux or <i>WinZip</i> and <i>StuffIt Expander</i> on Windows and Macintosh platforms, respectively.</p><p>Large databases are formatted in multiple gigbytes-sized volumes, which are named using the "name.##.tar.gz" convention. To reconstitute a given multi-volume database, all volumes with the same base database name are required. A database alias file, with ".pal" extension for protein or ".nal" extension for nucleotide, is provided to tie the volumes together. The database can be called using the base database name. For example, binary programs from the blast+ package can call the nt database using the command line option of "<b>-db nt</b>" option argument.</p><p>For proper setup of standalone blast+, it is recommended that database files be stored in a centralized directory, with the path to this directory be encoded by the BLASTDB variable.

Additionally, license requirement prevents NCBI from distributing the germline sequences for certain organisms as blast-ready databases. Instead, those sequences should be obtained from IMGT as FASTA. Convert the deflines of the IMGT sequences using the "edit_imgt_file.pl" script first before using makeblastdb to format the file into a igblast readable database.</p></div></dd></dl></dl></div></div></div></article><article data-type="table-wrap" id="figobblastftpsiteTsummaryofmatricesfou"><div id="blast_ftp_site.T.summary_of_matrices_fou" class="table"><h3><span class="label">Table 7. </span></h3><div class="caption"><p>Summary of matrices found in the /blast/matrices/ subdirectory</p></div><p class="large-table-link" style="display:none"><span class="right"><a href="/books/NBK62345/table/blast_ftp_site.T.summary_of_matrices_fou/?report=objectonly" target="object">View in own window</a></span></p><div class="large_tbl" id="__blast_ftp_site.T.summary_of_matrices_fou_lrgtbl__"><table><thead><tr><th id="hd_h_blast_ftp_site.T.summary_of_matrices_fou_1_1_1_1" scope="col" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">File</th><th id="hd_h_blast_ftp_site.T.summary_of_matrices_fou_1_1_1_2" scope="col" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">Contents</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td headers="hd_h_blast_ftp_site.T.summary_of_matrices_fou_1_1_1_1" scope="row" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">BLOSUM*</td><td headers="hd_h_blast_ftp_site.T.summary_of_matrices_fou_1_1_1_2" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">BLOSUM family of score matrices for protein alignment</td></tr><tr><td headers="hd_h_blast_ftp_site.T.summary_of_matrices_fou_1_1_1_1" scope="row" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">PAM*</td><td headers="hd_h_blast_ftp_site.T.summary_of_matrices_fou_1_1_1_2" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">PAM family of score matrices for protein alignment</td></tr><tr><td headers="hd_h_blast_ftp_site.T.summary_of_matrices_fou_1_1_1_1" scope="row" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">DAYHOFF*, GONNET*</td><td headers="hd_h_blast_ftp_site.T.summary_of_matrices_fou_1_1_1_2" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">Variants of PAM matrices for protein alignment</td></tr><tr><td headers="hd_h_blast_ftp_site.T.summary_of_matrices_fou_1_1_1_1" scope="row" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">MATCH, IDENTITY</td><td headers="hd_h_blast_ftp_site.T.summary_of_matrices_fou_1_1_1_2" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">Simplified score matrices for protein alignment</td></tr><tr><td headers="hd_h_blast_ftp_site.T.summary_of_matrices_fou_1_1_1_1" scope="row" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">NUC*</td><td headers="hd_h_blast_ftp_site.T.summary_of_matrices_fou_1_1_1_2" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">Nucleotide score matrices</td></tr><tr><td headers="hd_h_blast_ftp_site.T.summary_of_matrices_fou_1_1_1_1" scope="row" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">PAM.tar.gz</td><td headers="hd_h_blast_ftp_site.T.summary_of_matrices_fou_1_1_1_2" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">C source code for generating PAM matrices</td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></article></div><div id="jr-scripts"><script src="/corehtml/pmc/jatsreader/ptpmc_3.22/js/libs.min.js"> </script><script src="/corehtml/pmc/jatsreader/ptpmc_3.22/js/jr.min.js"> </script></div></div>
