Hi David,
It sounds like you are using the public Galaxy server at http://usegalaxy.org (http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu)? A BLAST service is not available on the public instance. (Megablast is available, but for NGS query data versus a specific set of target native genomes).
Bjoern is correct that you will need to obtain a Galaxy BLAST wrapper from the Tool Shed. http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Tool%20Shed Tools Shed entries can be searched for with: http://galaxy.psu.edu/search/getgalaxy These would be installed into a local or cloud version of Galaxy and set up using the following instructions: http://getgalaxy.org
Hi Jen, The NCBI BLAST wrappers used to be included as standard tools when doing a local Galaxy server installation - and were not in the ToolShed. Has that changed? Peter
