Search and clustering output

Option   Description
alnout   Human-readable alignments.
userout   Tab-separated text file, fields are specified by -userfields.
uc   Tab-separated text file with records for hits and clusters.
fastapairs   FASTA file. Each pair of sequences is a hit with the query first then the target, with gaps inserted to align them.
centroids   FASTA file for centroid sequences.
consout   FASTA file for consensus sequences.
blast6out   Tab-separated text file compatible with the NCBI BLAST m8 and outfmt 6 formats.
-matched   FASTA file containing query sequences that matched the database. Supported by v6.0.229 and later.
-notmatched   FASTA file containing query sequences that did not match the database. Supported by v6.0.229 and later.
-dbmatched   FASTA file containing database sequences matched to at least one query sequence. Supported by v6.0.229 and later. If -sizeout is specified, the number of queries that matched this sequence is written as a size annotation.
-dbnotmatched   FASTA file containing database sequences that were not matched to a query sequence. Supported by v6.0.229 and later.
-msaout   FASTA file containing a multiple alignment of each cluster. Supported by v6.0.307 and later.
