Note: These are not installed on the Centos 8 nodes.
The binaries for the old Centos 6 nodes though can be found under /shared/opt/centos6/.
They may work using a Centos 6 singularity container.
There is BLAST (called legacy BLAST) and a newer BLAST+ from NCBI (National Center for
Biotechnology Information) and it can be confusing.
NCBI Homepage: http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
The program names and functions in blast and blast+ are quite different. See: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK52640/
Also called legacy blast, it is based on the NCBI C-toolkit.
These old versions can be found here:
