The organism BLAST pages are being updated to use top-level (chromosome + unplaced and unlocalized scaffolds) RefSeq genomic records instead of scaffold records. This change has also been made for the human and mouse G+T BLAST databases. Reporting hits in chromosome coordinates is more useful for public reporting and also makes it easier to relate the results to data on other sites.
Organism BLAST pages are available from:
* The Map Viewer home page: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mapview/
* The Genome page for the species, under Tools: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/?term=mus+musculus
* A subset are available from the BLAST home page: http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi
The new databases are named 'Genome * top-level' in the popup menu, for example "Genome (Annotation Release 105 all assemblies top-level)", with more details about their contents available from the "?" link.
For eutils users, the ref_contig and all_contig BLAST databases are replaced by the ref_top_level and all_top_level databases. The ref_contig and all_contig databases will be phased out starting in October.
