- When loading the base sequence file into the current reference directory, the base sequence database for Blast search is automatically generated.
- If the sequence to be loaded is a genomic sequence file CDS is identified and if there is amino acid translation for each CDS, an amino acid sequence search database is generated at the same time.
- In IMCGE, AE, and DS, multiple genome sequences can be loaded simultaneously into the current reference directory, so multiple Blast search databases are generated at the same time.
- The timing for generating the Blast search database is when the new base sequence file is loaded into the current reference directory and when the current reference directory is changed.
- The database of the array which was the current until then is automatically deleted.
- It loads a base sequence file into the current reference directory and automatically generates its base sequence database and amino acid sequence database.
- Make the reference directory that is not the current directory the current reference directory.
- Right click on that directory. The menu will be displayed.

- Select "Change Current Directory" from the menu.
- A confirmation message "Change Current Directory?" Is displayed.

- Click "Yes (Y)". Click "Yes (Y)".
- A directory change will be executed and a green C icon
will be displayed in that directory as it completes.

- Load the genomic sequence into the current reference directory.
- From the menu click File -> Load Sequences to MGV.

- The file selection dialog is displayed.

- To use sample array data, select NC_000964.gbk from My Documents> imc_xx> seq> Bacillus subtilis.
- The above genomic base sequence file is loaded into the current reference directory.

- From the menu click File -> Create Blast DB ....

- The "Blast DB List" dialog is displayed.

- Two of them are NC - 000964.gbk, and Type is indicated as NA - REF and AA - REF.
- This shows that two types of Blast search databases are generated from the loaded genomic sequence and are automatically registered as a base sequence database and as an amino acid sequence database.
