- Update to version 2.13.0
* New features
- Blastn_vdb and tblastn_vdb included in the 2.13.0 release.
- Makeblastdb now produces a (JSON) metadata file about the
database.
* Improvements
- TBLASTN can now handle database sequences up to 2 billion
bases (was 1 billion)
- Makeblastdb default volume size is now 3 billion bases
(was 1 billion)
- Dustmasker has a new option to replace low complexity
regions with N's (hard masking)
- Makeblastdb will issue an error message and exit if it
encounters a sequence longer than the maximum supported
size (2,147,483,647 letters).
* Bug fixes
- Rare problem with mutex that caused BLAST to crash.
- Memory leaks.
- Update to version 2.12.0
* New features
- Threading by query batch (for BLASTN, BLASTP, BLASTX, RPSBLAST,
and RPSTBLASTN) may more efficiently BLAST large numbers of
queries, especially if the database is small or the search is
limited by taxid. Use "-mt_mode 1" to enable this option.
- Makeblastdb requires less virtual memory for smaller databases.
- Makeprofiledb creates multiple volumes for a CDD database,
which allows RPSBLAST to handle a larger number of records.
The number of SMP files included in a volume can be controlled
with the new -new_smp_vol option.
- update_blastdb.pl now supports the "-showall pretty" option
for databases hosted at the NCBI.
- update_blastdb.pl now reports the database timestamp in
ISO8601 format.
* Bug fixes
- Fixed phiblast core dump when -subject option is used.
- Use Python 3, wxWidgets 3.2 for building
