Nr database encompasses sequences from both non-curated and curated databases:

Non-curated databases (low quality):

GenBank/GenPept - unreviewed sequences submitted from individual laboratories and large-scale sequencing projects. Since these sequence records are owned by the original submitters and can not be altered, GenBank might contain many low quality sequences.
trEMBL - unreviewed section of UniProt. This section contains a computer-annotated supplement of SwissProt that contains all the translations of EMBL nucleotide sequence entries not yet integrated in SwissProt
Curated databases (high quality):

RefSeq - GenBank sequences that are manually curated by the NCBI staff. RefSeq records are owned by NCBI and can be updated as needed to maintain current annotation or to incorporate additional information.
SwissProt - manually annotated and reviewed protein sequences
PIR - non-redundant annotated protein sequence database
PDB - experimentally-determined structures of proteins, nucleic acids, and complex assemblies

                     The BLAST Databases
                Last updated on February 3, 2020

IMPORTANT: As of February 4, 2020, the BLAST databases on the FTP site are version 5 (v5).
At the same time, the databases offered has been changed. This document reflects those changes.
Information on newly enabled features with the v5 databases at
https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/blastdbv5.pdf

This document describes the BLAST databases available on the NCBI FTP site under
the /blast/db directory. The direct URL is ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db

1. Quick Start

   • Get all numbered files for a database with the same base name:
     Each of these files represents a subset (volume) of that database,
     and all of them are needed to reconstitute the database.
   • After extraction, there is no need to concatenate the resulting files:
     Call the database with the base name, for nr database files, use "-db nr".
   • For easy download, use the update_blastdb.pl script from the blast+ package.
   • Incremental update is not available.

2. General Introduction

BLAST search pages under the Basic BLAST section of the NCBI BLAST home page
(http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) use a standard set of BLAST databases for
nucleotide, protein, and translated BLAST searches. These databases are made
available as compressed archives of pre-formatted form) and can be donwloaed from
the /db directory of the BLAST ftp site (ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/).
The FASTA files reside under the /FASTA subdirectory.

The pre-formatted databases offer the following advantages:
* Pre-formatting removes the need to run makeblastdb;
* Species-level taxonomy ids are included for each database entry;
* Databases are broken into smaller-sized volumes and are therefore easier
to download;
* Sequences in FASTA format can be generated from the pre-formatted databases
by using the blastdbcmd utility;
* A convenient script (update_blastdb.pl) is available in the blast+ package
to download the pre-formatted databases.

Pre-formatted databases must be downloaded using the update_blastdb.pl script or
via FTP in binary mode. Documentation for this script can be obtained by running
the script without any arguments; Perl installation is required.

The compressed files downloaded must be inflated with gzip or other decompress
tools. The BLAST database files can then be extracted out of the resulting tar
file using the tar utility on Unix/Linux, or WinZip and StuffIt Expander on
Windows and Macintosh platforms, respectively.

Large databases are formatted in multiple one-gigabyte volumes, which are named
using the basename.##.tar.gz convention. All volumes with the same base name are
required. An alias file is provided to tie individual volumes together so that
the database can be called using the base name (without the .nal or .pal
extension). For example, to call the est database, simply use "-db est" option
in the command line (without the quotes).

For other genomic BLAST databases, please check the genomes ftp directory at:
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/

• marked files have pre-formatted counterparts.

5. Database updates

The BLAST databases are updated regularly. There is no established incremental
update scheme. We recommend downloading the complete databases regularly to
keep their content current.

6. Non-redundant defline syntax

The non-redundant databases are nr, nt and pataa. Identical sequences are
merged into one entry in these databases. To be merged two sequences must
have identical lengths and every residue at every position must be the
same. The FASTA deflines for the different entries that belong to one
record are separated by control-A characters invisible to most
programs. In the example below both entries Q57293.1 and AAB05030.1
have the same sequence, in every respect:

Q57293.1 RecName: Full=Fe(3+) ions import ATP-binding protein FbpC ^AAAB05030.1 afuC
[Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae] ^AAAB17216.1 afuC [Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae]

ANPDQFDPDATKAFIHFTEQGIFLLNKE

Individual sequences are now identifed simply by their accession.version.

For databases whose entries are not from official NCBI sequence databases,
such as Trace database, the gnl| convention is used. For custom databases,
this convention should be followed and the id for each sequence must be
unique, if one would like to take the advantage of indexed database,
which enables specific sequence retrieval using blastdbcmd program included
in the blast executable package. One should refer to documents
distributed in the standalone BLAST package for more details.

7. Formatting a FASTA file into a BLASTable database

FASTA files need to be formatted with makeblastdb before they can be used in local
blast search. For those from NCBI, the following makeblastdb commands are
recommended:

For nucleotide fasta file: makeblastdb -in input_db -dbtype nucl -parse_seqids
For protein fasta file: makeblastdb -in input_db -dbtype prot -parse_seqids

In general, if the database is available as BLAST database, it is better to use the
preformatted database.

What is Redundancy?
A key concept in comparing databases is the issue of redundancy. Many databases try to be "non-redundant". Unfortunately, biological data is too complex to fit a simple definition of redundancy. Are two alleles of the same locus redundant? Two isozymes in the same organism? The same locus in two closely related organisms? Hence, each "non-redundant" database has its own definition of redundancy. Some use automated measures, while others use manual culling; the former are amenable to large projects, the latter give higher quality. Other databases don't attempt to be non-redundant, but rather sacrifice this goal in favor of ensuring completeness.
Databases
Nucleotide (DNA & RNA)
nr (NCBI)
The nr nucleotide database maintained by NCBI as a target for their BLAST search services is a composite of GenBank, GenBank updates, and EMBL updates.
Non-redundant: Entries with absolutely identical sequences have been merged.
GenBank / EMBL / DDBJ
In theory, GenBank, the EMBL Datalibrary, and the DNA Databank of Japan (DDBJ) are just names for the same database. In reality, small timelags in propagating data between the database centers causes minor differences in these databases. However, if one of these libraries is merged with the updates to all of these databases, a complete set of sequences is formed.
Redundant: Little to no attempts to reduce redundancy
dbEST (Boguski, Lowe, & Tolstoshev. Nature Genetics 4:332 1993) is a library of Expressed Sequence Tags (Science 252:1651), single-pass cDNA sequences generated from automated sequencers.
CAUTION: ESTs are blindly sequenced from cDNA libraries with little or no human intervention; they are therefore likely to contain sequencing errors and are frequently contaminated with heterologous sequences and transcribed repetitive elements.

Redundant: no attempts made to reduce redundancy
Protein
nr (NCBI)
The nr protein database maintained by NCBI as a target for their BLAST search services is a composite of SwissProt, SwissProt updates, PIR, PDB. Entries with absolutely identical sequences have been merged.
SwissProt
SwissProt is maintained by Amos Bairoch at the University of Geneva. SwissProt is a highly-curated, highly-crossreferenced, non-redundant database. Unfortunately, the cost of this labor-intensive quality enhancement process is that not every sequence is in SwissProt. If you wish to look up information about a sequence, SwissProt is the first place to look.
Non-redundant: manual curation used to provide only one entry per protein product; variants are annotated in entry.
Highly-cross-referenced to other databases.
PIR
The Protein Identification Resource was originated by the late Margaret Dayhoff. It attempts to enjoy the advantages of a complete and a non-redundant database.
Non-redundant: PIR1 section contains only one entry per protein product.
Redundant: Complete database (PIR1+PIR2+PIR3) has many redundancies
PDB
The Protein Data Bank, maintained by Brookhaven National Laboratory (Long Island, New York, USA), contains all publically available solved protein structures. Searches against the pdb can be used to ask whether any known 3D structures are similar to your query protein.
Non-redundant: Only the "best" determination of a given structure is left in the database; however, multiple structures for one molecule may exist due to other components (i.e. one entry uncomplexed, one complexed).
OWL
Prot. Eng. 3:153
Non-redundant: Automatically generated from component databases (see reference for further info).
Protein Motifs
Prosite
Prosite is a database of protein motifs maintained by Amos Bairoch at the University of Geneva (NAR 19:2241, 1991). Each motif (defined by either a regular expression or a profile) is accompanied by a description of the motif and what is known about it's biology, as well as a listing of the true positive, false negative, and false positive SwissProt entries for the pattern.
BLOCKS
BLOCKS is a database developed by Steve Henikoff and colleagues. A block is a gap-free multiple alignment of sequences based on Prosite (Henikoff & Henikoff, NAR 19:6565 1991).

Preformatted BLAST vs Fasta
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK62345/
Getting the preformatted database files
Preformatted BLAST database files offer several advantages over the FASTA files:

The preformatted databases are broken into smaller volumes and therefore can be downloaded more readily with fewer errors
A convenient Perl script (update_blastdb.pl found in the bin directory of a locally installed blast+ package) is available to simplify the download of these preformatted databases
Preformatted database files remove the makeblastdb formatting steps, and saves valuable processing time and diskspace
Taxonomic information is encoded within the preformatted databases and can be used to limit the scope of a blast search, and sequence retrieval, and scientific name addition through the included taxdb files
Sequences in FASTA format can be generated easily from the preformatted databases using the blastdbcmd utility when needed

The BLAST taxonomy database is required in order to print the scientific name, common name, blast name, or super kingdom as part of the BLAST report or in a report with blastdbcmd. The BLAST database contains only the taxid (an integer) for each entry, and the taxonomy database allow BLAST to retrieve the scientific name etc. from a taxid. The BLAST taxonomy database consists of a pair of files (taxdb.bti and taxdb.btd) that are available as a compressed archive from the NCBI BLAST FTP site (ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/taxdb.tar.gz). The update_blastdb.pl script can be used to download and update this archive; it is recommended that the uncompressed contents of the archive be installed in the same directory where the BLAST databases reside. Assuming proper file permissions and that the BLASTDB environment variable contains the path to the installation directory of the BLAST databases, the following commands accomplish that:

Download the taxdb archive

perl update_blastdb.pl taxdb

Install it in the BLASTDB directory

gunzip -cd taxdb.tar.gz | (cd $BLASTDB; tar xvf - )

如果想把一个fasta文件中的序列都当作一个物种对待 那么可以使用taxid参数
合并两个数据库：
makeblastdb -in mysequences.fna -dbtype nucl -title "some sequences I found" -out mysequences -parse_seqids
blastdb_aliastool -dblist nt mysequences -dbtype nucl -title "nt database + my own sequences" -out ntandmore
如果有多个fasta 文件 每个文件是一个物种 可以先分别建库 然后用blastdb_aliastool合并
