Ya, I believe it's not a nice solution to make gui for all function.
But I think, it is cool to make gui for blast or swissprot GUIs. Just for
simple thinking, to get information from genebank with some criteria (ie.
who posted the sequence, with fixed sequence length, etc), it
will show the result directly to user. Anyone have other idea?
