blast2bed

Description

This script can be used to convert a tabular blast output to a bed file.

Usage

./blast2bed <input-file>

Notes

• The input file should be generated with the outfmt 6 or 7 flag.
• If the input file name has an any file extension, it will be replaced by ‘.bed’ for the output file. Otherwise, the output file will be <inputfile>.bed
• The score is always set to 0

The resulting bed file has the format:

<subjectID> <start> <end> <QueryID> <score> <strand>
