Download Workflow

This workflow performs an NCBI blast at the EBI. It accepts a protein sequence as input. Default values have been set for the search database (Uniprot), the number of hits to return (10), and all scoring and matrix options. These can be changed in the workflow by altering the string constant values if required. This workflow uses the new EBI services. They are asynchronous and so require looping over the nested workflow (Status) until the workflow has finished. Many of the EBI services now work in this way, so you can use this workflow as an example of the invocation pattern and looping configuration.

Inputs (2)

Name	Description
sequence	Query sequence. Either the actual sequence (fasta format recommended) or a database identifer in database:identifier format (e.g. uniprot:wap_rat).
email	Requires a valid email address in order to execute services hosted at the EBI. The EBI asks for an email address so that they can contact you about: Problems with the service which affect your jobs. Scheduled maintenance which affects services you are using. Deprecation and retirement of a service you are using. If you use a fake email, the workflow may be cancelled before execution

NCBI BLAST (SOAP) (1)

Download

Perform a BLAST search using the EMBL-EBIâ€™s NCBI BLAST (SOAP) service (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/sss/ncbi_blast_soap). The query sequence, database to search and BLAST program to use are inputs, the other parameters for the search are allowed to default.
