How To Transform The Bowtie Tabular Output Into Blast Tabular Output

I have a perl program SUmirFold13.pl

The SUmirFold13.pl only accept the the blast results in the format tabular (-outformat 6) like this

# Query ID    Subject ID    %    length    mism    gaps    qstart    qend    sstart    send    evalue    bitscore
2-16    contig213144    100.00    23    0    0    1    23    910    888    0.10    38.0
2-16    contig1892305    95.65    23    1    0    1    23    447    469    0.94    34.9

I have the bowtie result(below)

# Query ID length qstart-qend Subject ID Subject-length     sstart-send evalue unknown    bitscore  direction
2-16    23    1..23    contig213144    1892    983..1005    1e-04    1.00    42.1    Plus / Minus
2-16    23    1..23    contig1892305    721    447..469    1e-04    1.00    42.1    Plus / Plus

I think if the SUmirFold13.pl accept the bowtie result,it's good.I don't know how to modify the program,I hope someone give some suggestion.Thank you

perl

What are the names of the columns in the botwie output? Or, could you produce bowtie output for the same query as in the blast example?

There are columns in the format you want to use that do not exist in the other file (mismatches, gaps). Unless you have the query and subject sequences, and a pairwise alignment of the two, you can't simply transform that bowtie output into the blast one, I'm afraid.

Does the tool use those columns?

This perl was Written by Stuart J. Lucas,and I get this from him,there is no problem about it.

not the most intelligent way, but at least they bothered with publishing the code at all, instead of referring to the mysterious "in house script" ;-)
