Hi Kathryn,

These first three are three different types of sequence databases available from GenBank The last is a genome assembly for the phiX174 genome.

Information about all can be found here:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/

There are many uses, one example is covered in our Metagenomics publication:

Thanks!

Dear galaxy members,

I have a question on the databases used in megablast module from galaxy. There are four db options to blast against with -

1.htgs 28-Jan-2013

2.nt 28-Jan-2013

3.wgs 28-Jan-2013

4.phiX174

Is there any further information to guide which database would be appropriate to use? In addition, how to find the genome information contained in each database?

Many thanks,

Kathryn
