Hello I did the command line BLAST against NCBI nr database. Because of the limited computational resourses, administrator at our university reccomended me to split the query sequence as well as databases (120gb of nr). I splited the database in almost two equall parts and then did the blastx against each part. Now I have the blast results of each query sequence in tow parts. Each query have the maximum of 20 hits in each part of the database. I would like to use BLAST2GO for further annotation. But BLAST2GO can accept the multiple files for only one part of the database.. Therefore, I would like to merge the results of each query sequence from both part of the database. I could merge the tabulat output of blast and but with XML files it is not working. Could you please guide me how can I merge BLAST XML results from different databases.

Now I have the blast results of each query sequence in tow parts

does that mean that the very same query is present in the two xml files ?

Yes I use the same query sequence for both part of database.

For example "TRINITY_DN99193_c0_g5" query against database1

?

I suspect your process have concatenated some XML files

Well, Itried and the output is like that:

I think the script should be like:

First it should merge all the resulted xml files that was generated for one database 1 let's say in this case merge all 31 files of database1

Then it should some how sort the xml files. The reason to sort is queries are not insorted format,because I used GNU parrallel to split the blast queries over nodes.

Doing the same exercise for the database2.

Now we will have two files that contained the results for each query against each database.

Therefore script should be trained in such a way that it takes the first query from first file and copy the results of this specific query from both files

    BUT BEFORE Pasting the results into new file, a little bit modification is required.
    Each query has a maximum of 20 hits. it means the hit starts from 
        <Hit_num>1</Hit_num>
        .   
        .
        .
        .and ends on 
        <Hit_num>20</Hit_num>

    The problem is the hit number always starts form 1 to 20 in both databases.

I wonder whether it will effect when I use this file for the BLAST2GO? or we need to change the number of second part of th edatabase from 

        <Hit_num>1</Hit_num>     TO  <Hit_num>21</Hit_num>
        .   
        .
        .
        .and  
        <Hit_num>20</Hit_num>    TO <Hit_num>40</Hit_num>

    So, After merging each query will have 40 hits

these are not valid xml files.

As I mentioned in the previous comment, because fo the GNU parallel each file has multiple blast xml header and footer.

I remove the repeated header and footer from the file and then tried your script, it worked and merged two files. But the resultant file in in one line
