Hi Torsten,
I'm collaborating with other groups and want web-service compatible
functionality for various tools. Normally the analysis tools I'm using
generate gff output. I'm going to have to wrap this output in XML with
XSL stylesheet for end-users to view. Haven't done it before and don't
know what DTD to use. The bp_seqconvert.pl doesn't accept gff format.
I would imagine the DTD would be quite short as the gff files are very
standard, I just don't have any experience with these DTD
requirements.
