[Bioperl-l] COG software?

[Rick Westerman]

      I asked about COG searching a week or so in bionet.software but did 
not receive a good reply.  Since it looks like I will end up writing the 
search unless I find something pre-done, I will repeat my question in this 
forum.

     Does anyone know of a way to send a bunch of potentially incomplete
sequences (i.e., those from a partially completed genome) through NCBI's
COG database?   The NCBI 'coginator' page seems to let only single 
sequences to be analyzed at a time.  There are standalone programs 
(dignitor and xugnitor) available via FTP in /pub/tatusov/dignitor.   These 
may do what I want.  Although I am afraid that the readme is only a 26 
lines long cryptic document and the 1500+ lines of 'C' code do not contain 
a single comment section.  Not even a "written by" or "copyright" 
section.   Makes me shake my head in
disbelief.  :-(

     Any further help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-- Rick
