Instance Method Details

#database_description(program, db) ⇒ Object

Returns a short description of given database.

def database_description(program, db)
  _parse_databases
  h = @database_descriptions[program]
  h ? (h[db] || '') : ''
end

#databases(program) ⇒ Object

Returns a list of available databases for given program.

Note: It parses remote sites to obtain database information (e.g. blast.genome.jp/ for Bio::Blast::Remote::GenomeNet). Thus, if the site is changed, this method can not return correct data. Please tell BioRuby developers when the site is changed.

Arguments:

  • program (required): blast program(‘blastn’, ‘blastp’, ‘blastx’, ‘tblastn’ or ‘tblastx’)

Returns

Array containing String objects
