[Bioperl-l] Retrieving sequence from local blast database

[AUnderwood@PHLS.org.uk]

HI all,

Does anyone know if there is a method within bioperl to retieve the sequence
of an entry from a local blast database formatted with the formatdb command.
I have retrieved a hit with the standalone blast method and want to retrieve
all the sequence of the hit. If I use $hit->next_hsp->hit_string then then
sequence retrieved is often not the entire sequence of the hit. Is it
possible to use the accession number retrieved from the hit to retrieve the
sequence from the local databse or just retrieve the entire hit sequence.

Many thanks
