    Question about stand alone blast for linux

    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 part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

      16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
      by SEQadmin2





      NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...
