Editing CrocoBLAST:UserManual (section)

As mentioned above, all results are provided in one of three BLAST output formats (pairwise, tabular or comma-separated-values). CrocoBLAST does not currently offer facilities for graphical visualization and analysis of the BLAST results, partly due to the fact that it targets big data, and partly because there are other great free tools are already available for such purposes. We recommend that you obtain the alignments using CrocoBLAST, and then use some specialized software (e.g., [http://ab.inf.uni-tuebingen.de/software/megan6/ MEGAN]) to further extract relevant information from your data.

CrocoBLAST currently does not implement a parallelization of the BLAST calculation over the network. This aspect may be addressed in a future version of CrocoBLAST, once we have gathered sufficient information regarding the most common use case for network-distributed calculations. Your feedback is greatly valued.

Finally, while CrocoBLAST will run on most versions of Windows (XP or newer) and Linux, CrocoBLAST will not run on OS X. It is unlikely that this should change in the immediate future, but do check back with us just in case.
