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

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...
