I was able to retrieve it from here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/ToolBox/CPP_DOC/lxr/source/src/app/blast/update_blastdb.pl I'm not sure if this is how the authors intended it, but most scripts not found in the repo can be found through searching on Google.
Edit: This is a wrong way to approach this, you should be able to just use it from your shell (though not in a bash file) because it is apparently in your conda env.
It turns out that when you install the dependencies of the repo, update_blastdb.pl
is downloaded in your conda environment:
which update_blastdb.pl
/path-to-miniconda3/envs/env-name/bin/update_blastdb.pl
Why is the nt dataset downloaded from this link https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/FASTA/ larger [378GB] compared to the one downloaded using the command update_blastdb.pl --decompress nt
[151GB]? Why are there differences between the two downloads? Could you provide details on the specific data that has been added or removed, and the reasons for these changes? I would greatly appreciate it.
In readme.md:
But I can't find
update_blastdb.pl
