BLAST Robot

This page describes the use of the BLAST Robot. If you would like to know how it works internally please click here.

The BLAST Robot is a good example of SynBioWave interacting with third party services. In this case we access the NCBI BLAST tool via their URL API. This way we can submit jobs to the BLAST servers and check out the results once the process is over.

How do I submit a job?

If you want to perform a BLAST search there are currently two options for you to choose from: You can use a sequence from workspace or directly input a sequence into the mask. (Again, if you choose to use a sequence from the workspace make sure that you have only one selected)
