blastp:tldr:cbe7a
This is a command for running the blastp program, which is used for comparing protein sequences. Here is a breakdown of the command and its components:
-
blastp
: This is the executable command for running blastp. -
-query ${query-fa}
: This specifies the query sequence file. The${query-fa}
is a placeholder that is expected to be replaced with the actual path or name of the query sequence file. -
-subject ${subject-fa}
: This specifies the subject sequence file. Similar to the query,${subject-fa}
is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the path or name of the subject sequence file. -
-evalue ${1e-9}
: This sets the e-value threshold for reporting matches. The e-value represents the number of expected matches that could occur by chance.${1e-9}
is a placeholder for the desired e-value threshold. You need to replace it with the actual value you want to use.
In summary, this command is used to run blastp with a specific query sequence file, subject sequence file, and e-value threshold. The placeholders ${query-fa}
, ${subject-fa}
, and ${1e-9}
are meant to be replaced with the actual file names or paths and numeric values.
