In FinchTV 1.3 and above, NCBI BLAST searches can be initiated from either Context Menu or by selecting Edit > BLAST Sequence from the menu. The BLAST Sequence submenu offers options for BLASTN, BLASTX, TBLASTX and MegaBLAST searches. To launch a BLAST search:
- Highlight a range of bases in the trace window (to BLAST only portion of the sequence, if nothing is highlighted the entire sequence will be used).
- Select BLAST Sequence from the contextual menu or select Edit > BLAST Sequence from the menu and select a BLAST option from the BLAST Sequence sub menu. If only a BLASTN is desired, you can type shift cmd B (Mac) or shift ctrl B (others).


BLAST launching is not available on Linux or Solaris.
