Generating Web BLAST output from local BLAST

Question

[dylan.lawrence]

Is it possible to generate the web page for blast results from a local blast? I find all the command line blast output to be difficult to read, particularly for what I am doing.

Dear community,

It's an old tread, but apparent still relevant. I used the flag option and created a html file (filename.html). I can open this file in the brower, but is there a way to open it in the BLAST web page, so that would have a more visual presentation of my data? Especially, I am to use the "browser" function on the web page to see the neigboring genes of my blast hits.

Best, Rikki

If you are doing the blast at NCBI then I recall that the links were clickable i.e. they will take you out to relevant accession at NCBI. If you are thinking of having this sort of thing with a local database then it is not going to be possible automatically. You will need to grab the accession numbers from your search and look them up at NCBI yourself.

Thanks Genomax!

option 1) use the html output: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK279684/

html flag N/A Produce HTML output

option 2): generate a xml output and then convert to html using xslt. see Blast Stylesheet

I did not know there was an html flag option. Thank you!
