[Bioperl-l] BioXML, Agave and bsml

[Lincoln Stein]

DAS (what you're calling "BioXML") is well implemented, but is a very shallow 
pipe.  It will transfer the feature table, but not the sequence meta data 
such as author, species, citations, and so on.  You will want to go to the 
www.biodas.org site and get the latest Bio::DAS perl library.

Agave has no support in BioPerl (unless someone has added it very recently).  
BSML is supported and will round-trip BioPerl sequences quite well, but the 
BioPerl parser is a memory hog and rather slow.
