can the output formats of a blastx file be changed after analysis done with the default -outfmt 0 format? Im using the stand alone blast 2.2.30 and already ran the program for a couple of days realizing later I will need a .xml file to be able to use in blast2go I don’t want to redo the whole thing but simply change formats if possible.

Not really, no. Format zero is human readable plain text, it can be parsed but this is unreliable and not recommended.
The BLAST ASN.1 archive format (-outfmt 8 or 9) can be converted to any of the other formats using the NCBI Blast_formatter command line tool.
You can also convert BLAST XML output to the basic tabular format quite easily, e.g. https://github.com/peterjc/galaxy_bl..._to_tabular.py

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
