BlastXML output would certainly be the easiest place to start. I also think with the new Thing/ ThingBuilder framework it will be possible to develop all manner of parsers for the vagaries of Blast text output that come with each new release of Blast. Possible but maybe not a good idea. I don't think that output was ever supposed to be machine readable. The table formatted output (-m8 I think) would be a better option. Given the DTD it should be possible to do a quick JAXB binding. How would that work in the Thing/ ThingBuilder paradigm? - Mark _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [email protected] http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
