NCBI SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TOOLKIT National Center for Biotechnology Information Bldg 38A, NIH 8600 Rockville Pike Bethesda, MD 20894 The NCBI Software Development Toolkit was developed for the production and distribution of GenBank, Entrez, BLAST, and related services by NCBI. We make it freely available to the public without restriction to facilitate the use of NCBI by the scientific community. However, please understand that while we feel we have done a high quality job, this is not commercial software. The documentation lags considerably behind the software and we must make any changes required by our data production needs. Nontheless, many people have found it a useful and stable basis for a number of tools and applications.

To demonstrate ncbitools, run: /sw/share/ncbitools/demo/blastall.sh You may manually download databases to /data/blastdb from: ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/blast/db/ If you want to use a location besides /data/blastdb for your databases, then set the environment variable BLASTDB.
