[Bioperl-l] strand in Bio::SearchIO when parsing fasta35 output

[Jason Stajich]

Is this -m9 -d 0 output or standard default?  I think the strand is  
parsed in the HSP parsing.

Can you double check what $hsp->query->strand and $hsp->hit->strand  
prints?

A full example report as a bug request will be next step if that  
doesn't resolve.
