The idea is because I always run the BLAST as XML since I parse them
with biopython, but people at lab want to check the HTML version (or I
want to "publish" the result in a public DB accessible via html) and
that makes me re-run the BLAST just for them to see the output.
Sometimes the BLAST are resource demanding (like a 2 week run) and I
would like to avoid re-running the BLAST when I really want is a
format change.
