Hey guys, I am trying new ways to speed up the Blasting process and have tried splitting my assembled transcriptome into small files and running a local blast with each one. I ran a sample file and it worked a lot faster than any other way I've tried, but I'm having a problem when attempting to load the output file into Blast2Go. Can anyone shed some light on the issue? I was hoping to run all the files, merge them all and load them up into Blast2Go fully blasted and ready to annotate. Thanks in advance for any help.

Surely people have used Blast+? -
Did you set the blast output to XML (-outfmt 5)?
Can you be more specific than "I'm having a problem when attempting to load the output file into Blast2Go."?Comment

No, i didn't enter that command. I have an output file named x after performing Blastx on a file containing contigs. I'm attempting to load the file into Blast2Go software but receive an error saying the file needs to be in gzip format. Will the -outfmt 5 setting allow me to do so?Originally posted by atcghelix View PostComment

Are you running Blast2GO locally? Or on a web server somewhere?
I was under the impression that you needed to feed Blast2GO a blast file that was output in XML format, but I may be wrong.Comment

nope, I think the only output it can handly is XML since it is the most stable one.Originally posted by atcghelix View PostComment

Gzip is a compression format that is separate from BLAST. You can convert your results file to gzip on the Linux or Mac command line, I'm sure there are also Windows tools.Originally posted by Shorash View PostComment

Hey,
This is what it work for me so far. Using blast+ or blastall with xml as output. When the number of query seqs is quite high, load them into blas2go takes too much time, so I use blas2gopipe. I'm still working on this workflow, where I have some issues connecting to the database (why blast2go have so many problems with that?). Anyway, if you are able to run it, it will generate a projectfile (.dat) which you can open with blas2go desktop and run the annotation.Comment

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...
