  • Comparing BLAST m8 Outputs

    Hi,

    I want to compare BLAST outputs in m8 format to find out if any queries in the separate output files have the same subject hits to NCBI nr database.

    For example, for the 2 BLAST outputs in m8 format below, displaying only the query and subject columns, I want to find PFD1 and GHT3 have the same hit (Hsp90):

    BLAST Output 1:

    PFD1 Hsp90
    PFD2 Gan80
    PFD5 Kan38

    BLAST Output 2:

    GHT1 Lsg70
    GHT2 Jkl78
    GHT3 Hsp90
    GHT6 Odf45


    Any help, suggestions or recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Also let me know if you have any questions.

    You can write a custom script, where a hash key is the second column (preferred), or you can write some shell script like this:
    awk '{print $2}' blast1 | sort >a; awk '{print $2}' blast2 | sort >b; comm -12 a b >common.txt; for i in `cat common.txt`; do grep $i blast1 blast2; done

    But you can combine the querys to one file and run Blast with that.

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
