Galaxy workflow for the identification of candidate genes clusters
------------------------------------------------------------------

This approach screens two proteins against all nucleotide sequence from the
NCBI nt database within hours on our cluster, leading to all organisms with an inter-
esting gene structure for further investigation. As usual in Galaxy workflows every
parameter, including the proximity distance, can be changed and additional steps
can be easily added. For example additional filtering to refine the initial BLAST
hits, or inclusion of a third query sequence.

Sample Data
===========

As an example, we will use two protein sequences from *Streptomyces aurantiacus*
that are part of a gene cluster, responsible for metabolite producion.

You can upload both sequences directly into Galaxy using the "Upload File" tool
with either of these URLs - Galaxy should recognise this is FASTA files.

 * https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bgruening/galaxytools/master/workflows/ncbi_blast_plus/find_genes_located_nearby/WP_037658557.fasta

In addition you can find both sequences at the NCBI server:
