[Bioperl-l] matrix from bl2seq

[Giovanni Coppola]

Hi Wyatt,
thanks for your suggestion.
I was considering ClustalW and LALIGN and SSEARCH from FASTA as well,  
since I am looking for perfect local alignments (I am designing  
microarray probes and I am checking for homology regions of 25 bp).
I will end up trying several of them and choosing based on the  
output.... anyway, it is a good exercise!
Thanks again
Giovanni
