 Some of the most common biological sequence databases are available on the HPC for you to use with tools like BLAST. Below you can find the list of them, their location on the system, and the last time they were updated. Some of the most common biological sequence databases are available on the HPC for you to use with tools like BLAST.

-2: NCBI introduced database format version 5 in 2019 and these only work with BLAST tools starting from 2.9.0. They are no longer updating the version 4 databses, but we have preserved them in a separate directory if you are using tools that do not support version 5.+
