I have a quick question: How can I turn off search on reverse complement strand of my query nucleotide sequence in blastn?

For example, I don't want 'GUAAAGCCAAAUCUUCGGUUA' to be a hit when I use 'UAACCGAAGAUUUGGCUUUAC' as the query.

Maybe I missed it when I read the man page, but I really appreciate it if someone can point out the parameter I should use.

Thanks!

The -S flag can select the strands:

-S  Query strands to search against database 
    (for blast[nx], and tblastx) 3 is both, 1 is top, 2 is bottom [Integer]

In NCBI BLAST+ this is controlled by the '-strand' option.

For BLAST+, it's -strand {both,plus,minus}

I'm not sure this option even works because it's giving me identical results for plus and minus.
