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

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
