[Bioperl-l] remoteblast

Wed May 14 10:48:44 EDT 2014

So the BLAST services changed - not sure if we will still even support perl
based - it will require a developer tracking and testing to the new NCBI
resources since the have discontinued the older submission CGI resource.

You can run remote blast with commandline tool from NCBI as an alternative.

I think we will need to have a developer volunteer who wants to keep
working on tracking the webservices for NCBI to keep this module working.
