[Bioperl-l] genbank (blast) alignments

[Robert Buels]

Wow, that silence is deafening.  I can't believe somebody who knows what 
they're talking about hasn't written you back yet.

Perhaps you could do some kind of transformation where you read in the 
BLAST report with Bio::SearchIO, and then write to MSF with 
Bio::AlignIO::msf?  You would probably need to do some fiddling to 
create the proper objects and relationships that Bio::AlignIO::msf would 
want.

But this reply probably isn't helpful, because you probably already knew 
that much.  I'm mostly just trying to add to this thread so that people 
who actually know a lot about BioPerl's functions in this area will see 
it and hopefully be of more help.
