Generating .xml file from list of genes using BLAST

Question

[GreenDiamond]

Hello,

I need to generate an .xml file from BLAST starting with a list of genes (currently in .txt format).

Do I require a script to do this, or is there an easier way to do this directly on the online BLAST website?

Thank you...

Type blastn -help. Scroll down to outfmt. You can find different formatting options. For XML Blast output, outfmt is 5.

Check the similar Blast - Formatting Output in biostar.
