Visualizing BLAST output

[antifolate]

What tools would you recommend to visualize blast tsv output? I found several ones but none of them work with tab (or comma) delimited formats.

Hello everyone!

Please help.

Thanks!

Comma/tab delimited formats are used for ease of programmatic parsing. What kind of visualization do you want to generate with those formats?

Something as simple as a line connecting matches would be enough. Or maybe coloring matches with the same color. Kablammo is an example, but it doesn't take tsv formats as input (http://kablammo.wasmuthlab.org/).

As you said, tsv/csv formats are easier for parsing and manipulating. I've filtered the hits in the tsv output accoding to many criteria and would like to visualize those remaining hits.

It may be worth looking into converting the results into a bed file and then use that for visualization.

x=genetic distance from my genome , interval, maybe logarithmic
y(x)=number of organisms in the database with that distance

where to find that, how is it called ?

For the record, I wrote Perl scripts to convert the filtered TSV output into pairwise format, using the original pairwise hits. I then used the pairwise output for visualization.

Since I'm more interested in structural variations, a BED format wouldn't be really helpful.
