[Bioperl-l] Alignment from blast report

[Paolo Pavan]

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your reply. So I have to understand that since the
get_aln method returns the HSP alignment, there is no way to retrieve
the whole alignment as in the example pasted, isn't it?
Basically I'm trying to use megablast as kind of multiple local
alignment engine and actually I'm not pretty sure this is a good idea
but in my particular case could be suitable. I mean that the example
below reports only the portions of the sequences that align loosing
the portions that does not, I'm not sure I gave the idea. What do you
think about? Can you give me your opinion?
If there isn't any module written yet, I can try to write a parser, it
could be of any interest?

Thank you,
Paolo
