Get a sequence from the Protein Data Bank and create a MATLAB structure.
S = getpdb('1CIV');
Use the structure as input for the BLAST search with a significance threshold of 1e-10. The first output is the request ID, and the second output is the estimated time (in minutes) until the search is completed.
[RID1,ROTE] = blastncbi(S,'blastp','expect',1e-10);
Get the search results from the report. You can save the XML-formatted report to a file for an offline access. Use ROTE as the wait time to retrieve the results.
report1 = getblast(RID1,'WaitTime',ROTE,'ToFile','1CIV_report.xml')
Blast results are not available yet. Please wait ...
report1 =
struct with fields:
RID: 'R49TJMCF014'
Algorithm: 'BLASTP 2.6.1+'
Database: 'nr'
QueryID: 'Query_224139'
QueryDefinition: 'unnamed protein product'
Hits: [1×100 struct]
Parameters: [1×1 struct]
Statistics: [1×1 struct]
Use blastread to read BLAST data from the XML-formatted BLAST report file.
blastdata = blastread('1CIV_report.xml')
blastdata =
struct with fields:
RID: ''
Algorithm: 'BLASTP 2.6.1+'
Database: 'nr'
QueryID: 'Query_224139'
QueryDefinition: 'unnamed protein product'
Hits: [1×100 struct]
Parameters: [1×1 struct]
Statistics: [1×1 struct]
Alternatively, run the BLAST search with an NCBI accession number.
RID2 = blastncbi('AAA59174','blastp','expect',1e-10)
RID2 =
'R49WAPMH014'
Get the search results from the report.
report2 = getblast(RID2)
Blast results are not available yet. Please wait ...
report2 =
struct with fields:
RID: 'R49WAPMH014'
Algorithm: 'BLASTP 2.6.1+'
Database: 'nr'
QueryID: 'AAA59174.1'
QueryDefinition: 'insulin receptor precursor [Homo sapiens]'
Hits: [1×100 struct]
Parameters: [1×1 struct]
Statistics: [1×1 struct]
