10. Now that we have the sequence of the locus in FASTA format, we can use<br />

the NCBI BLAST server <strong>to</strong> search the locus against all the Xanthomonas<br />

sequences in GenBank. Go back <strong>to</strong> the <strong>CPGR</strong> <strong>Workshop</strong> Links page and open<br />

the NCBI BLAST Page in the browser. To <strong>be</strong>gin, paste the sequence in the text<br />

box. The locus sequence is the query sequence and will <strong>be</strong> used <strong>to</strong> search<br />

against the database of non-redundant GenBank sequences. The sequences in<br />

the database are also known as the subject.<br />

11. Searching against the entire non-redundant GenBank set of sequences is <strong>to</strong>o<br />

wide in this case as we want <strong>to</strong> limit the search <strong>to</strong> all of the Xanthomonas<br />

sequences in GenBank. To do this, scroll down <strong>to</strong> the Choose Search Set panel<br />

and choose the ‘Others’ Database option. Next, select the ‘Cus<strong>to</strong>m’ option for the<br />

Organism. Start typing Xanthomonas in the text box. As you type, a drop drown<br />

box will appear showing the available options as your typing narrows them down.<br />

When you see Xanathomonas (taxid:338) appear, select it.
