High througput BLAST-analysis

Is there a simple and automated way to do a BLAST analysis of 900 genes to find clusters... or should I make a 900x900 table and compare each gene individually with each other?

Thank you for your help!

To cluster sequences, I'd consider using CD-HIT rather than BLAST.

OrthoMCL is another good choice in addition to CD-HIT as mentioned by Neilfws. Alternatively, you might want to use SiLiX which is very fast and could be used for both nucleotide sequences or amino acid sequences.
