If you are interested in the evolution of a particular gene or gene family it is often intetesting to examine the intro-exon structure even across species.

Use Genomic BLAST to see the genomic context When you wish do remove a entry simply click the check box to the far right of the row. You can see the program, database and title information in the list and these columns can be used to sort your list.

When this link is clicked the search page which generated the results you are viewing will be saved to be accessed at any time you return with your custom values, including the sequences entered for the search.Įach time you return to the BLAST pages you can select the Saved Strategies tab at the top of any BLAST page and see a list of your saved strategies. Once you are signed into MyNCBI you will see a link at the top the BLAST results page which says "Save Search Strategies". Using the MyNCBI service you can register for a private account and each time you log in you can have access to custom searches for BLAST as well as PubMed and other Entrez services.

Do you want to have to fiddle with pull down menus or remember all the changes you made the next time to want to run a similar search? Now you can use "Saved Strategies" to and always have a saved search template. So you have made a few BLAST searches and after adjusting the database, organism limits and maybe a few Algorithm Parameters you arrive at what you think is a good search strategy.
