How to install the NCBI nucleotide data base (nt) locally?

11 November 2016 1 3K Report

Hello,

I need a copy of the NCBI nt database installed locally on my machine to blast and collect 16s rRNA sequence ontology using the python seqenv package (https://github.com/xapple/seqenv).

However, I see there are 41 individual files (ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/) and I am not sure if I should download them all or just a subset, or one.

Can anyone suggest how I should proceed?

Thanks for reading.

Hey Sylvain!

Hope its going well up north, must be chilly now :)

Cheers,
