This seems like a lot of unnecssary work now that BLAST itself offers descriptions in the tabular output,

2.2.26 (2.2.27) didn't have this feature, and when I talked to NCBI they stated "no plans to include" - we wrote the script well over a year ago. I'm glad they did it.Originally posted by maubp View PostLast edited by cement_head; 08-20-2013, 01:55 AM.Comment

I'd like to think my open letter blog post helped motivate them to add this
It wasn't clear from your post announcing your script that it pre-dated BLAST 2.2.28+ being released.Comment

I was floored when I called them up and asked them why one couldn't extract that information with 2.2.26 - they said "why would anyone want to do that?" - so we wrote the script - anyway, thanks for pointing out that 2.2.28 does this (I hadn't checked).Originally posted by maubp View PostI'd like to think my open letter blog post helped motivate them to add this

The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.
This convergence of genetics, immunology, and computation...09-01-2026, 05:41 AM
