    Visualizing BLAST output

    What tools would you recommend to visualize blast tsv output? I found several ones but none of them work with tab (or comma) delimited formats.

      Comma/tab delimited formats are used for ease of programmatic parsing. What kind of visualization do you want to generate with those formats?

        Something as simple as a line connecting matches would be enough. Or maybe coloring matches with the same color. Kablammo is an example, but it doesn't take tsv formats as input (http://kablammo.wasmuthlab.org/).

        As you said, tsv/csv formats are easier for parsing and manipulating. I've filtered the hits in the tsv output accoding to many criteria and would like to visualize those remaining hits.

          It may be worth looking into converting the results into a bed file and then use that for visualization.

            x=genetic distance from my genome , interval, maybe logarithmic
            y(x)=number of organisms in the database with that distance

            where to find that, how is it called ?

              For the record, I wrote Perl scripts to convert the filtered TSV output into pairwise format, using the original pairwise hits. I then used the pairwise output for visualization.

              Since I'm more interested in structural variations, a BED format wouldn't be really helpful.

                Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
                by SEQadmin2



                CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

                Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

                Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
                by SEQadmin2


                Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

                Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
                by SEQadmin2



                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.
