Subject organism name from Blastp result

dgio · 10-27-2012, 05:03 PM

Hi everyone,
I have a set of proteins ID that i'm blasting locally using blastp and the new blast+ program.

The problem is that I cannot retrieve in any way the name of the organism to whoch the subject id refers.

It would be wonderfull if I could find a way to get the full description appear for the subject sequence (instead of truncated one) or blast the obtained gi from the tabular output (-outfmt 7) and obtain the organism name.

Any suggestions??

Thanks all!!!

Please email the NCBI and tell them this is important, and it might help encourage them to actually implement it.
