<br>
Is this information in any of the BLAST output formats?<br>
<br>
I suspect you are talking about recreating one or more<br>
of the coverage fields which can be requested in the<br>
BLAST csv or tabular output files formats? i.e. qcovs<br>
or qcovhsp perhaps?<br>
<br>
If so, I can see a rational for computing this for the<br>
BLAST XML parsing... although given we'd like to<br>
push people towards SearchIO (which supports the<br>
BLAST tabular format as well), doing it there might<br>
make more sense than in NCBIXML?<br>
