Access the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) via its API and FTP to retrieve DNA/RNA sequences, raw sequencing reads (FASTQ), and genome assemblies by accession, with support for multiple formats. Use when downloading reads or sequences for a study, run, or sample accession, or when sourcing nucleotide data for genomics and bioinformatics pipelines. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

Runs NCBI BLAST+ 2.17.0 sequence searches from the command line: makeblastdb (with -parse_seqids), blastn/blastp/blastx/tblastn with tabular -outfmt 6/7 for parsing, correct -task choice (megablast vs blastn vs blastn-short), -taxids/-negative_taxids taxonomic scoping, and -mt_mode multithreading; plus a DIAMOND blastp --ultra-sensitive path for large protein searches. Warns that -max_target_seqs is a heuristic keep-count, not a top-N best-hits filter. Use when the user wants command-line BLAST, makeblastdb, a local BLAST database, blastn/blastp/blastx/tblastn searches, or DIAMOND protein search. For the Bio.Blast web NCBIWWW API prefer alterlab-biopython; for quick one-liner database lookups prefer alterlab-gget. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.
