@matuskalas, unfortunately we do not have specs for BLAST formats. I can help with this either by answering questions or contributing pull requests. Are BLAST formats already defined in EDAM...

@arminmm91, `metadata_FAILURE_details(1).txt` and `metadata_FAILURE_details(2).txt` are for the runs where you specified `-task blasts-fast` and `-task` (no task name). These have incorrect blast `options`. I do not see the logs for...
