Hi everybody,
I have a question about BRIG (BLAST Ring Image Generator); the software that let's you compare genomes. I don't fully understand all the output it creates. The image and the CGview XML I understand but the rest I don't get. I tried the official website and contacting the maker directly but I can't find any aswers. (English isn't my first language so I apologize for any mistakes)
The "versus files":
gi|157159467|ref|NC_009800.1| Genome 98.64 53872 714 10 1677191 1731048 2215022 2268889 0.0 1.003e+005
gi|157159467|ref|NC_009800.1| Genome 98.31 53183 880 9 2278959 2332140 2872441 2925605 0.0 9.780e+004
Every ring has its own file about it's comparison to the reference genome. I don't get all the values in them though. To me, some of the values are the start- and stop positions where the genomes match. I also think I see a E-value from BLAST. But since there are no headers in these files I'm uncertain about it.
RingXmergeflip files:
gi|215485161|ref|NC_011601.1| Genome 86.51 704 95 0 1283295 1283998 2203423 2202720 0.0 642
gi|215485161|ref|NC_011601.1| Genome 85.71 756 108 0 1283243 1283998 1643312 1644067 0.0 642
I think these files also contain information about the start- and stopsites. But these files also lack headers so I'm not sure about the content.
Can you guys help me out?
This is just a guess, but is it the BLAST output in tabular format when you BLAST one sequence to the other?
