    Standalone BLAST output format question

    I'm using stand-alone BLAST to align transcripts I've assembled of a non-model species to the drosophila transcriptome. I want my output to be a CSV file that includes the actual NAME of the gene. Those names are listed in the standard blast output, but I can't figure out what switch to use to get it into the CSV.

    The best I can do right now is get a sequence id- something like FBtr072340098, which I can search default blast output for and find the names manually...

    My command line looks something like:

    blastn -query sep-final.fasta -db dmel.fasta -out sepxdmel.csv -outfmt '10 qseqid sseqid qseq evalue length'

    What I really want is a CSV that has something like:

    NAME=abd-b,comp11522_c0_seq1,FBtr072340098,length=750,evalue=1e-51,ACGAATCTCTTGCTTACCGCTTCGCAAACCCCTACGAC

    Which will make it easy for my labmates who don't do this kind of computer work to have an easy file they can search for a gene name to find a sequence to make primers and probes.

    Any advice?

    Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
    by SEQadmin2



    CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

    Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

    Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
    by SEQadmin2



    Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
