Custom BLAST databases
After you have created your own BLAST
databases, to make them
available in the BLAST AMI, simply copy your BLAST database files onto the
instance’s /blast/blastdb_custom
directory. E.g.:
scp -i <PATH_TO_YOUR_PEM_OR_SSH_KEY_FILE> <BLASTDB_FILES> ubuntu@<YOUR_INSTANCES_DNS>:/blast/blastdb_custom/
These (and any other) BLAST databases installed in the /blast/blastdb_custom
directory in the instance will be immediately available for searching via the
URL API, web interface, and BLAST+ command line applications on that instance.
