That is so brilliant! Thank you so much! :)
Hi,
I "blast" my protein sequence against the NCBI database and I wish to save the returned results in FASTA format. Is there a way to convert the sequences all into FASTA format and save them or do I need to manually save them one by one? I'm sorry if I overlooked any of the selected option in the blast page. :(
Thank you in advance!

On your NCBI BLAST result page, you should see the option "Select All". Click that, and then the "Get selected sequences" link next to it. This will take you to a list of all proteins, where you can click "Send to", "File" and select "FASTA" as format.
On the blast site, when in the list of matches there is a button in the top right corner saying 'Send to', then click 'file' and choose fasta format.

We've had a similar question to this before. What do you want to save: the full sequence of each hit, or just the aligned regions?
The full sequence of each hit. I've got the answer already. Thank you for your time. :)
