[maker-devel] Preformatted BLAST databases?

[Fields, Christopher J]

All,

We have a number of pre-formatted BLAST databases set up locally (taxonomically separated, for example) that we would like to use for annotation of specific assemblies.  We would also really like to save space where possible and not copy auto-generated BLAST databases where possible.  

These don't currently seem to be supported however (at least, when I attempt to use them via the config they don't work).  Is this possible via MAKER currently, or are there any plans to support this in the future?
