PROTEIN-NEIGHBORS(1)

💖 PROTEIN-NEIGHBORS(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the NCBI Entrez Direct User's Manual ✨ this one lives in section 1 of the manual, and it's giving extremely deprecated energy, so buckle up 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

protein-neighbors — find similar protein accessions, via BLAST (DEPRECATED) 💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

protein-neighbors

that's it. no flags, no args, no drama. she takes zero options and she takes zero prisoners 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Note: Neither protein-neighbors nor the underlying eblast script will appear in future releases of NCBI Entrez Direct.

like, fr fr, this is your last chance to use her 😭 she's on the way out, no cap.

So here's the vibe: protein-neighbors reads one or more protein accessions from standard input and then goes and does an online search for similar sequences in NCBI's nr database 🔥 the whole point of her is to hand you back another accession list on standard output, so she's basically a glow-up machine that takes accessions in and gives better-matching accessions out 🧚

in → accessions (one or more, from stdin) 🍓 out → a whole new accession list (to stdout) 💖 how → BLAST against NCBI's nr database, online, so yes, she needs the network 🌈
