Dear ALL,

I noticed that BLAT-six-frames does not support the sim4 format. I have
been parsing the sim4 format and have to deal now with psl
unfortunately.  Has anyone on this list written a parser for
BLAT-six-frame ? I would appreciate any help (in perl if possible) from
which I can expand further.

I would also like to know what genetic code in being used for
conceptual translation.

Does anyone know where I can find pslCoverage, pslFilter, pslCDnaFilter,
pslMrnaCover and pslHitPercent? I checked the achieve and noticed a mail
sent by Jennifer (Wed May 12 10:55:49 PDT 2010) which says pslCoverage is
fairly old and is not recommended for use anymore. I am comparing two
transcriptomes ( say two sets of ESTs) to evaluate the linearity between
them. I am using blat in two  modes: -q=dna -t=dna && -q=rna & -t=prot .
In these instances, the idea is to compare two sets of strings. Is there
anything wrong in these modes regarding what I wish to achieve?

Any suggestion thereof will be highly appreciated.

Many thanks
