BLAST Sequence Search Skill
SkillSearchBLAST skill for sequence similarity searching, homology detection, and database querying
Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.
Account requirements not reviewed. Check the skill instructions before use; ahel provides instructions and does not run this skill.
Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.
Then ask your AI: use the BLAST Sequence Search Skill skill

Purpose
Provide BLAST capabilities for sequence similarity searching, homology detection, and database querying across nucleotide and protein sequences.
Capabilities
- BLASTn/BLASTp/BLASTx execution
- Custom database creation and management
- E-value and alignment filtering
- Output parsing and result annotation
- Batch query processing
- Remote NCBI database queries
Usage Guidelines
- Select appropriate BLAST program for query/database type
- Set E-value thresholds based on search sensitivity needs
- Create custom databases for project-specific searches
- Parse and filter results for downstream analysis
- Consider computational resources for large searches
- Document database versions for reproducibility
