HOWTO Discussion:BlastPlus

Factory construction and initialization

I'm confused about how this example has two of the same parameter.

$fac = Bio::Tools::Run::StandAloneBlastPlus->new(
    -db_dir => 'mydb', -db_dir => '~/home/blast'
);

This is not a good sign that you still have not recieved a response since June. However, I am also confused. I have tried standaloneblast but it can not find blast all. I checked the NCBI download and it no longer contains blastall. I have been trying to find how to download standaloneblastplus module but I have had no luck. Is there any out there that can help a noob get this going on a win64 machine?

If you have questions, you should ask on the mailing list instead of here. Nobody sees this. Lskatz: The example probably has a typo. Jcellis: download the latest version of BioPerl (which includes the BlastPlus module) from http://github.com/bioperl -Dave Messina 21:21, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
