[Bioperl-l] From Blast hits to Taxanomy lineage for Short DNA Sequences (reads)

[Ian Mc Dowell]

I have a deeply sequenced transcriptome so when I look for a gene of
interest in my short reads (108bp) I get thousands of hits, at very low E
values.  And I want to do this for many sequences of interest. That's why I
want a script to automate the process of grabbing the accession numbers from
the blast xml output, then searching in the fasta file which is equivalent
to my local database and pulling those relevant reads.
