[Bioperl-l] BioPerl Module to Parse BLAT alignment output

[Jason Stajich]

if you get it as axt it should parse fine in SearchIO but that is  
pairwise, if you can get an alignment blocks I can't remember what  
format this is from UCSC.
MSAs are going to be better handed through Bio::AlignIO though so it  
might be better to build a parser on that.
