[Bioperl-l] ncbi blastn problem.

[Chris Fields]

Note these two lines in the BLAST output:

Number of sequences better than 0.001: 0
Number of HSP's better than 0.001 without gapping: 0

The default expect values are set differently for BLAST web page  
submissions (10) vs the URLAPI version (0.001).  Use the parameter '- 
expect' to change that:

my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::RemoteBlast->new(
'-prog' => 'blastn',
'-data' => 'nr',
'-readmethod' => 'blast',
'-expect' => 10
);
