Hi,
Full disclosure - I'm not a biologist, but helping a biology lab streamline some of their bioinformatics. Through NCBIWWW, I'd like to run a blastx with the website equivalent of 'max matches in query range'. There doesn't appear to be a keyword applicable through the web API for this limitation. I found this post from over a year ago, but wasn't sure if this feature has since been supported: https://www.biostars.org/p/213407/
Should I instead turn to the command line tools as suggested in the thread?
Thanks for your help,
Nick
# SAMPLE CODE #
from Bio.Blast import NCBIWWW
from Bio import SeqIO
blastx = NCBIWWW.qblast(
program='blastx',
database='nr',
sequence=[sequence],
gapcosts='9 1',
matrix_name='BLOSUM62',
)
