8.4 View BLAST Reports Graphically
BLAST
reports can be complicated. Viewing them graphically can help you
understand them better, especially when the reports are very long.
Appendix D includes a simple Perl program that
converts tabular output from NCBI-BLAST reports into a GIF, PNG, or
JPEG image. Figure 8-2, Figure 8-4, Figure 8-8, and Figure 8-9 were created with this program. Appendix E contains a program that converts the standard
BLAST reports to the NCBI tabular format. The programs are available
at this book's O'Reilly web site.
Figure 8-2 is an example of a BLASTX search. Appendix D contains more information on the display.
