Customize Link To Ncbi Blast Search

Question

[Alex]

I want to insert a link to NCBI Blast search into web page with given GI and coordinates. Link like this:

http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?PAGE=Nucleotides&PROGRAM=blastn&QUERY={{ GI }}&DATABASE=nr&MEGABLAST=on&BLAST_PROGRAMS=megaBlast&LINK_LOC=nuccore&PAGE_TYPE=BlastSearch&QUERY_FROM={{ START_POS }}&QUERY_TO={{ END_POS }}" target="_blank">Run BLAST

Question: Where can I find any documentation how to customize Blast search settings with link parameters? For example, I want to remove a check from "Low complexity regions" checkbox in "Filters and Masking".

I don't think that type of functionality is supported officially.

What you can do however is click the link called "bookmark" on the BLAST page and that will take you to another page where the URL will show you the series of parameters from which you can more easily figure out what you can customize.
