[Bioperl-l] Fwd: FW: parser for GeneSeqer

[Robert Buels]

Aha!  Isn't it amazing what gets revealed when you just get off your 
butt and ask on the mailing list.

I'll look at that code straightaway.  The concept is quite attractive to 
me, since GenomeThreader is the next program that I'm going to be 
integrating into my analysis stuff.  Unfortunately, (I am under the 
impression that) my GeneSeqer parser is almost finished.

This brings us to the next question, what about parsing the 
GenomeThreader XML?  Would be lovely to have a Bioperl interface for 
that.  Is there some code floating about for that too?
