How can I limit my BLAST search based on
Organism?
The option to limit a search to organism
and even taxonomic classification is part of the
"Limit by Entrez Search" option on most standard
BLAST search pages. There is a pull down menu to select
the most common organisms found in GenBank and also a
field to input the species name, or classification
(example: "eubacteria"). Using this option will cause
your query sequences to be compared only to sequences in
our databases from that organism.
There are also several "specialized" BLAST Pages
devoted to different organisms on the main BLAST web
page.
