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

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...09-23-2024, 06:35 AM -
During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.
Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...09-09-2024, 10:59 AM
