Shiny_BLAST

Description:

This app runs BLAST locally then parses and displays the results. It can be directly integrated into existing apps or function as a standalone blast server.

A Blog post describing the code can be found here

Requirements:

• Unix like environment
• Current BLAST executables
• The following R packages
  1. shiny
  2. plyr
  3. dplyr
  4. XML
  5. DT
  6. shinythemes (optional)

Usage:

In the ui.r file, change line 4 custom_db <- c("LvTx") to include the name of your databases. Note that in the current configuration when nr is selected a 'remote' BLAST is called so this database does not need to be stored locally.

In the server.r file, change lines 8 and 9 to add your own database names and paths (they must match the names in the ui.r files). Be sure that you include the path to the databases like so:

  custom_db <- c("YOUR_DATABASE NAME")
  custom_db_path <- c("/PATH_TO_YOUR_DATABSE)
