Can I run a blast for each contig in my contigs file?

Hello,

I want to do local alignment with the sequence of a gene against each contig in a contigs file. I wanted to know if there was any program to do this automatically, as my file has 400+ contigs.

Thanks for reading.

You can just use two fasta files:

  • contigs.fa (to be converted to blast database)
  • putative_genes.fa (to be searched against the first one.

No need to search all against all one by one.
