BLAST output parsing in R?

[rdu]

Is there a package, or some special way to parse BLAST output by programming in R? Thanks.

the easiest way is to produce a tabular output from blast (-m 8 param I think ) and then to read this output in R with the command

var <- read.table(out.blast , sep="\t")

Use "-outfmt 6" to get tabular output from blast.
