  Just go to Blast [here](https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?PROGRAM=blastn&PAGE_TYPE=BlastSearch&LINK_LOC=blasthome)
  
  1. Click where is says Database go to Transcriptome Shotgun Assembly Sequence Database (TSA).
  2. Click where is says "Limited by" click organism and thereon specify the group of interest.
  
  Thats it.
