title: Making Blast database from FASTA in Python
body: <p>How can I do this? I use Biopython and saw manual already. Of course I can make blastdb from FASTA using "makeblastdb" in standalone NCBI BLAST+, but I want to whole process in one program.</p>
  
  <p>It seems there are two possible solutions.</p>
  
  <p><ol>
  <li>Find a function which perform this job.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>I cannot find this. I've spent whole day.</li>
    <li>Run "makeblastdb" in python.</p>
    
    <blockquote>
      <p>I input os.system("C:\blast-2.2.25+\bin\makeblastdb.exe") in my python shell, but I couldn't give any parameters.</li>
      </ol>
      How can I solve this?
      Thank you for your helping.</p>
