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

[shalabh sharma]

Hey Ian,
             Writing that kind of script would not take that much time. But
i am not very much familiar with xml format.
But still you can do without writing a complicated script.

once you get the output you can get all the ids (use grep or simple perl
script to parse ids).
Then use that list of ids to fetch sequences from your database by using
"fastacmd" .
