blast_nt for nucleotide against NCBI database about metablastr HOT 3 CLOSED

thank you. I figured an alternative approach (terminal).

Hi @antoine4ucsd

Happy to hear that metablastr is useful for your research.

Currently, there is no analog to the blast_protein_to_nr_database() function for nucleotides implemented yet, but I can put it on the TODO list.

As for the NR database, yes it would need to be locally stored.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Hajk

Just as a comment: the strength (and purpose) of metablastr is not running the search itself (this can be done easily via the terminal), but rather how to process and pipe the BLAST result output back into an R session for downstream analytics with dplyr and other tidy tools.
