Hi!
Im learning how to run BLAST over the internet and Im interested in
blasting against the RefSeq database. For now I have managed to blast
against the nr database with:
result_handle = NCBIWWW.qblast("blastp", "nr", sequence_string)
but I dont know how to search against RefSeq, if I enter:
result_handle = NCBIWWW.qblast("blastp", "refseq", sequence_string)
the blast record is empty! Is it possible to blast against the RefSeq
database? What should I type in the second argument?
Thank you!
