+====== Getting specific fasta sequences from reference file ======
+In case you need to retrieve a specific sequence from a larger fasta file, use one of my perl scripts. Simply provide a pattern that it needs to match in the definition field and it will retrieve the sequence. The **-f** is the reference file, **-o** is the output file name, and **-query** is the pattern it will try to match.
+<code>
+perl /home/mkatari/PerlScripts/getFastaName.pl -f ../blast/Mesculenta_147_v4 -o scaffold12498.fa -query scaffold12498
+</code>
+====== Creating the blast database ======
+Before we can actually perform the blast, we need to prepare the database using **makeblastdb**.
+<code>
+makeblastdb -in cassavaV5 -input_type "fasta" -dbtype "nucl"
+</code>
 ====== Run Blast using sbatch ======
