Hi Peter, It looks to me like there are versions both, with the Tool Shed version having the more recent date stamp. But if those extra functions are not needed, then yes, you are correct, the version included in the distribution would be enough. Please send corrections if I have any of this wrong, so that David gets the best information, Thanks Peter! Jen Galaxy team On 2/9/12 1:50 PM, Peter Cock wrote:

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
