Figure 2. Pseudocode for the DCBLAST algorithm to perform query subdividing.

Figure 2

The multiple query sequences (in one FASTA file) are then subdivided into a set of query files until the subdivided lengths exceed that of the total length/N. Once subdivided, the program will then submit the individual subdivided files to the HPC scheduler and BLAST/BLAST+ is carried out. Lastly, the BLAST/BLAST+ output files are merged into a single report file that is returned to the user.
