After the Jobs panel shows the Status of a BLAST search or Entrez search is Done, pressing the “Done” hyperlink opens the search results simultaneously in the Text, Table, and Pairwise views. All three views are contained in a large pop up window that is separate from the main window.
An example Text view is shown below:
In order, the view shows the following:
- The version of BLAST used in the search (e.g., “BLASTP 2.9.0+”).

- Information about the Query sequence, including its length and the Request ID (RID) number.
