selecthitscore

selecthitscore filters BLAST hits for each line in a BLAST file to refine sequence alignment results for downstream analysis.


Key Features:

  • Per-line BLAST hit filtering: Filters BLAST hits on a per-line basis within BLAST output files.
  • BLAST output processing: Operates directly on BLAST file formats to parse and select hits.
  • Galaxy execution: Leverages Galaxy as an execution engine for job execution.
  • API integration: Communicates with web services via the Galaxy API or the Bioblend library.
  • Alignment refinement: Selects relevant BLAST hits to refine sequence alignment data for subsequent analyses.

Scientific Applications:

  • Sequence alignment analysis: Facilitates streamlined analysis of sequence alignment results by filtering BLAST hits per line.
  • Preparation for downstream analyses: Refines BLAST results to improve the accuracy and efficiency of subsequent computational analyses.

Methodology:

Parses BLAST output files line by line to select/filter hits and executes tasks via Galaxy using the Galaxy API or the Bioblend library.
