Hello, I am trying to do an ACT comparison using big_blast on two constructions of the same partial genome (one with 4 contigs and one with 3 to see where the various pieces have been joined together). I was therefore expecting large blocks of identical sequence showing rearrangement etc. However, I seem to be getting loads of small blocks. I think that of this is due to multiple repeat elements but I was wondering if it was something to do with the window size used by blastn or the block size by big_blast. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve the layout?
