Thanks a lot for the information. :) I'm new to the field so get confused at times. I started downloading the NCBI databases locally, but I have two questions.
1) There is no proper updating process for the locally installed NCBI databases. (according to my knowledge) So it seems I have to re download the database totally if I need to get them updated. And those databases are almost always being updating. (.sigh) 2) After installing databases, is there a particular way to let galaxy know where are my databases located? So that they can be included in the drop down menu of the blast+ wrappers for me to select :) Thanks a lot in advance Nilaksha Neththikumara.
