Is there any way to blast my nucleotide sequence only against specific NCBI database, for example, refseq_rna?
Similarly, I'd like to limit my search to a specific organism/taxid.
As I understand, blastSequences()
doesn't have these options now. Is there any other solution?
Thank you James! I have contacted NCBI support, and the solution turned out to be quite simple: besides
QUERY
, their API supports a fieldENTREZ_QUERY
. Unfortunately it is not included inannotate
for now, but I simply added&ENTREZ_QUERY=human%5borgn%5d
string to myQUERY
, and this worked!
