Servers Parameters

The Servers parameters allow you to enter or change the BLAST and Entrez server addresses that you want Lasergene to use. Access these parameters by selecting Project > Parameters and Servers from the list on the left.

 

 

The upper and lower portions of this dialog let you specify BLAST and Entrez server URLs, respectively. Unless “overwritten” by substituting custom addresses, the Servers tab uses the NCBI BLAST and Entrez server URLs that were current at the time of the Lasergene release.
