Hi all,
I'm wondering if the following task can be done in Galaxy with the standard tools. The specific example is selecting the top (e.g. 3) match sequences for each blast query, but I see this problem as much more general than a "Select top BLAST hits" tool.

Does this make sense? Does it seem like a useful tool to write if there isn't anything like this already present? Or might it be simpler to just write a "Select top BLAST hits" tool?
While I still think the above task could be useful in general, I am now considering a general "BLAST filter" tool to offer this and some other commonly used filters like a minimum coverage threshold (which is possible with a filter on the extended tabular output, but not trivial). Peter
