Dear community,
currently I am going through the PathoScope tutorial, where it says:
You can download NCBI’s nucleotide database (10 GB) from their ftp site (ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/blast/db/FASTA/nt.gz) and get your data from there. Either way you’ll end up with files representing your Filter or Target libraries.
However when I go to their FTP site the file is not 10GB big, but rather > 150 GB and it would take over 5 hours to download the file. Is is the file nt.gz when you go to the /blast/db/FASTA/ file. But where can I find the NCBI’s nucleotide database which only takes 10 GB? It is also shown in the tutorial that it takes only about 40 minutes so what am I doing wrong?
I would be glad for any help!
