Hi all,
here is the next blast problem (and I'm actually not sure there is a solution for this). I need to perform a blast against nr with some species/gis excluded. Formatdb offers the possibility to create a database subset based on a positive gi list; however, if this list is huge, the blast takes very long.
The blast+ application offers both a positive and a negative gi list argument and performs much more efficient.
However, I use some programs which expect the old plain-text blastall output as input and fail to parse the blast+ output (which differs in some details from blastall output).
So, this is my question: does somebody know of a possibility to convert the blast+ output to the old blast output format?
Thanks in advance and best regards!
