[Bioperl-l] translation frame problem in bioperl

[shalabh sharma]

Hi Peter and Brian,
                           Thanks a lot for your reply.
I have already taken this in account.
So if i parse the blast report (my previous example)
i get strand '-1' and frame '1' (according to bioperl)
so if we convert it to general term then its -2 because bioperl starts from
0.

Also for bioperl forward frame translation working fine.


Thanks
Shalabh
