  • Standalone Blast output

    Hi

    When looking at the output from standalone blast I see this:

    <Hsp_hit-from>76056</Hsp_hit-from>
    <Hsp_hit-to>76901</Hsp_hit-to>
    <Hsp_query-frame>0</Hsp_query-frame>
    <Hsp_hit-frame>3</Hsp_hit-frame>
    <Hsp_identity>89</Hsp_identity>
    <Hsp_positive>141</Hsp_positive>
    <Hsp_gaps>19</Hsp_gaps>
    <Hsp_align-len>286</Hsp_align-len>

    Can anyone tell me why is the align length less than "hit-to" minus "hit-from"?

    Is there a description of the output available anywhere, maybe I am looking at this wrongly. Hope you can help

    Thanks

    It looks like there are 19 gaps in the alignment (Hsp_gaps is non-zero), which will contribute substantially to the align length being shorter than the hit range.

    Linked from the first google hit for "BLAST XML format".

      How RNA-Seq is Transforming Cancer Studies
      by seqadmin



      Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...

      Methods for Investigating the Transcriptome
      by seqadmin




      Ribonucleic acid (RNA) represents a range of diverse molecules that play a crucial role in many cellular processes. From serving as a protein template to regulating genes, the complex processes involving RNA make it a focal point of study for many scientists. This article will spotlight various methods scientists have developed to investigate different RNA subtypes and the broader transcriptome.
