8 This tool is a short Python script to parse a BLAST XML file, and extract the
9 identifiers with description for the top matches (by default the top 3), and
10 output these as a simple tabular file along with the query identifiers.
11

15 Manual Installation
16 ===================
17
18 There are just two files to install (if doing this manually):
19
20 * blastxml_to_top_descr.py (the Python script)
21 * blastxml_to_top_descr.xml (the Galaxy tool definition)
22
23 The suggested location is in the Galaxy folder tools/ncbi_blast_plus next to
24 the NCBI BLAST+ tool wrappers.
25
26 You will also need to modify the tools_conf.xml file to tell Galaxy to offer
27 the tool. e.g. next to the NCBI BLAST+ tools. Simply add the line:
28
29 <tool file="filters/seq_select_by_id.xml" />
30
31 To run the tool's tests, also add this line to tools_conf.xml.sample then:
32
33 $ sh run_functional_tests.sh -id blastxml_to_top_descr
