What you want in the outfmt option is qcovs, well at least its what I think you want. -
i am running blastp in commandline.i didn't get query coverage results.how to got it?help me?Comment

Check out the section on custom output formats.

How about this. Can you provide some information on how you are trying to run the blast command line tool? Are you getting an error? If you can give any of us an idea of what you are doing and perhaps why it is not working for you then maybe someone can give you the answer you are looking for. If you do not feel that providing anything other than "please help me" I suggest you type "blast -help" in the command line and get to reading.Comment

blastall -p blastp -i plas_3d7.fasta -d approved_target.fasta -m 8 > blas.tab
my output file contaiing only Query id, Subject id, % identity, alignment length, mismatches, gap openings, q. start, q. end, s. start, s. end, e-value, bit score.
i want query coverage resultsComment

how to use -qcovs flag in blastp?Comment

I'm not sure how you would run the search in the older version of BLAST, NCBI recommends you download the new BLAST+ here is a link to a discussion https://www.biostars.org/p/9480/Originally posted by kulandaisamy View Post
I have only used the newer version so the line of code would look something like....
blastp -db nr -query plas_3d7.fasta -query_loc approved_target.fasta -out blas.tab -outfmt "6 qgi sgi qcovs" -remote
Or something to this effect, I'm not sure what the -d flag is on the blastall version of blast but hopefully this can get you pointed in the right direction.Comment

You are running blast+. Not the latest (v. 2.2.30) but close enough. Use @skbrimer's suggestion for the command above.Comment

ok..thnk youComment

Don't use the -remote option if you are using blast locally.Comment

i tried but i didn't get it.give me some example.Comment

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.
There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM -
Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.07-01-2026, 11:43 AM
