Blast Tabular to XML

Hi,

I have a rather large Blast completed, with the results in tabular text format. I need to generate the results in xml format to use with software. I know I can specify this in the blasting options, but to redo the blast is a lot of computation power that I wish not to 'waste' if possible.

Thanks

Try this one:A: Convert Blast Output Into Blast-Xml

Generating authentic blast xml output from tabular output is impossible because some of the information, like e.g. the actual alignments, is not present in the latter.

This comment is the correct answer to my question. Thanks.
