+
+- Align two or more sequences using megablast (default), with the e-value threshold of 1e-9, pairwise output format (default):
+
+`blastn -query {{query.fa}} -subject {{subject.fa}} -evalue {{1e-9}}`
+
+- Align two or more sequences using blastn:
+
+`blastn -task blastn -query {{query.fa}} -subject {{subject.fa}}`
+
+- Align two or more sequences, custom tabular output format, output to file:
+
+`blastn -query {{query.fa}} -subject {{subject.fa}} -outfmt {{'6 qseqid qlen qstart qend sseqid slen sstart send bitscore evalue pident'}} -out {{output.tsv}}`
+
+- Search nucleotide databases using a nucleotide query, 16 threads (CPUs) to use in the BLAST search, with a maximum number of 10 aligned sequences to keep:
+
+`blastn -query {{query.fa}} -db {{path/to/blast_db}} -num_threads {{16}} -max_target_seqs {{10}}`
+
+- Search the remote non-redundant nucleotide database using a nucleotide query:
+
+`blastn -query {{query.fa}} -db {{nt}} -remote`
+
+- Display help (use `-help` for detailed help):
+
+`blastn -h`
