Blast-it 0.1

Description

Blast-it is a bash shell script, which performs multiple blast alignments against a pre-defined blast database (a different behavior compared to Blast-it4web, where you can create your "own" blast database "on the fly").
This script is very useful in those cases where you have thousands of fasta files and need to perform a blast comparison, for each sequence, against a given database.
Blast-it is not finished at all, but we are planning to adapt it to perform more flexible tasks, anyway, is quiet easy to tune it to suit your needs, just open the script and look for directions.

Output

It creates an user defined output directory in which you will find several files, one for every blast comparisson (html format by default).

Usage

since this is a BASH Shell script it is supossed to work just on UNIX platforms:
$> ./blastit
Thats it! (Ok, before running it, be sure you have modified all necessary variables: BLASTBIN, E_VALUE, DIR etc).
