Overview ¶
Package blast provides support for interaction with the NCBI BLAST service.
Please see http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?CMD=Web&PAGE_TYPE=BlastDocs&DOC_TYPE=DeveloperInfo for the BLAST service usage policy.
Required parameters are specified by name in the function call. Optional parameters are passed via parameter struct values. See the 'QBlast URL API User's Guide' at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/Doc/urlapi.html for explanation of the use of these programs.
The following two parameters should be included in all BLAST requests.
tool Name of application making the BLAST call. Its value must be a string with no internal spaces. email E-mail address of the BLAST user. Its value must be a string with no internal spaces, and should be a valid e-mail address.

Constants ¶
const RidPollLimit = 60 * time.Second
Blast server usage policy requires that users not poll for any single RID more often than once a minute. The blast package Get requests honour this policy.
Variables ¶
var ( ErrNoRidProvided = errors.New("blast: no RID provided") ErrMissingRid = errors.New("blast: missing RID/RTOE field") ErrMissingStatus = errors.New("blast: missing Status field") )
var Limit = ncbi.NewLimiter(3 * time.Second)
Limit is a package level limit on requests that can be sent to the BLAST server. This limit is mandated by the BLAST service usage policy. Limit is exported to allow reuse of http.Requests provided by RequestWebReadCloser without overrunning the BLAST request limit. Changing the the value of Limit to allow more frequent requests may result in IP blocking by the BLAST servers.
var URL = ncbi.Util("http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/Blast.cgi")
URL is the base URL for the NCBI BLAST URL API.
