[Bioperl-l] BlastPlus Masker

[Nils Müller]

Dear all,

I am confused in handeling with maskers in blastplus:
I have fasta seq. and want to run blast with a low complexity masker like
dustmasker:

$fac = Bio::Tools::Run::StandAloneBlastPlus->new(
  -db_name => 'my_masked_db',
  -db_data => 'myseqs.fas',
  -masker => 'dustmasker',
  -mask_data => 'maskseqs.fas',
  -create => 1);

Is myseqs.fas the same as maskseqs.fas??? I don't want to create a
maskfile , I only will run blast with a masked file??
