FYI, NCBI BLAST default database is now core_nt not nt as before.

Note we don't explicitly set a default BLAST database in our qblast
function:

Important Update! The Core Nucleotide Database (core_nt) is now the default
nucleotide BLAST database. Core_nt is also available on the command line.
You get faster searches & more focused results.
Check out our latest NCBI Insights blog
