Hi, I have written a BlastParser for xml based BLAST results, in order to reconstruct SeqSimilaritySearchResult instances from xml files returned by the NCBI for BLAST requests.
In constructing the searchresult, I use SequenceBuilder sb = new SimpleSequenceBuilder(); SeqSimilaritySearchResult result = new SimpleSeqSimilaritySearchResult( sb.makeSequence(), new DummySequenceDB("dummy"), searchParameters, hits, new SimpleAnnotation(annotations)); where hits is a List of SeqSimilaritySearchHits and searchParameters and annotations are Maps. The XML file still contains information about the query, like ID and length, but not the whole query sequence, e.g.: <BlastOutput_query-ID>gi|1698579|gb|U60438.1|MMU60438</BlastOutput_query-ID> <BlastOutput_query-def>Mus musculus serum amyloid A protein isoform 2 mRNA, complete cds</BlastOutput_query-def> <BlastOutput_query-len>576</BlastOutput_query-len> Here is my question: How can I adopt this information into the SimpleSeqSimilaritySearchResult? The sequence I obtain by sb.makeSequence() of course does not contain anything. Is there a way to construct a sequence by the query-ID, query-def and query-len? (Especially the length is something I need!)
