Console BLAST search in WGS/TSA databases

Dear all,

is it possible to use BLAST from the command line to search in multiple remote wgs/tsa NCBI databases?

I need to search for the sequences of exact group of organisms in as many metagenomic wgs/tsa projects as possible and think about how to automate this process.

Thank you very much!

Every preformatted/web blast+ database is not available for remote search on the command line. A quick check shows that wgs or tsa are not a valid option for -remote search.

Thank you, but I have already checked it. Is there other console option for search in these databases?
