Hello List
I try to get the length of the query from the blast result itself
like that:
result_handle, error_handle = NCBIStandalone.blastall(my_blast_exe, "blastn",
my_blast_db,
my_blast_file)
from Bio.Blast import NCBIXML
blast_records = NCBIXML.parse(result_handle)
for blast_record in blast_records
but
blast_record.query_length return None
and
blast_record.query_letters return the actual size
Should I test the length of the query before the blast result? O did I
miss-interpreted the meaning of query_length and query_letters?
Thanks for your time
