Steps of the analysis pipeline. Section A shows the process of both controlling the version of the local CITES database as well as updating the database with NCBI taxonomy IDs of CITES-protected taxa. Section B shows the process of running a BLAST search on the user input FASTA file, filtering the output according to minimum BLAST quality settings and blacklisted GenBank entries and flagging CITES protected taxa by comparing the BLAST hits against the local CITES database (and optionally other databases).
