Hi,
I just wrote a homologene parser that includes unit tests. NCBI split homologene into simple + complex file formats - I only parse the simple format. Should I send you the code? I doubt you would want to integrate it now, since I can imagine a few more useful methods, but, with design pointers, I could extend the code to be more useful. Should we take this discussion off the list?

Cheers,
Gary

Hello -

The best way to proove the code is worthy is to provide JUnit tests with the code that provide good coverage of the functionality. If the tests pass the code is worthy. Other more esoteric things like good API design and efficiency are also nice but if the unit tests don't pass it doesn't work.

Let us know what you plan to do.

Hi Mark,
Thanks. The changes that NCBI made to their file formats are large, so I could write another builder/parser for the new file format, but it would not map completely to the existing parser (which is now broken because of NCBI format changes to even the deprecated file format). If I want to contribute code, who decides that the code is worthy (e.g. does a design review)? Ideally, this would happen before I start coding. I haven't figured out if I am going to use the existing framework for my current project, since the file format has become simpler, but I would like to contribute if possible.

Thanks,
Gary

Hello -

It seems most of this was contributed by David Huen. I'm not sure if he plans an update. If the changes are not large then you might want to consider contributing the changes yourself.

Best of Luck

Hi,
I just tried the Homologene parser in biojava 1.4pre1

and
noticed that it only supports the deprecated Homologene file format and throws a number of exceptions parsing that file (likely because of updates to the


old file format). Is there an update for this parser available anywhere? I think it would be very useful.

Thanks,
Gary
