Bioinformatics Running BLAST queries and performing sequence alignment with Biopython

#12daysofbiopython
In Day 4 of 12 days of Biopython video I am going to show you how to run queries against online version of BLAST. I am going to show you how to make connection to NCBI BLAST and how to query with blastn program nucleotide database. Then I am going to show you how to parse and get results of BLAST query, so how to get alignments.

Feel free to skip to chapter of your interest.

Thanks for uploading this! How long do your responses typically take, I seem to be sat here for several minutes to get a result, is that normal?
