Hi Thomas, Full support allowing making your own database with taxid support will be more complicated - but using databases setup via the *.loc file (e.g. a downloaded copy of the NR database) ought not to be too complicated. I think we just need to add another integer parameter under the advanced options to set the -window_masker_taxid value. Would that be enough for your needs? I wrote the NCBI BLAST+ wrappers but this is starting to turn into a team effort. There is a lot of other work in progress on extending the Galaxy BLAST+ wrappers further - I'm setting up a meeting with the other people already working on this during the GCC2013 - perhaps this should be a listed BoF session? http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/BoF Regards, Peter ___________________________________________________________ Please keep all replies on the list by using "reply all" in your mail client.
