The idea started when I saw http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/HOWTO:Graphics.
Not just stop at this point, I want to filter all sequences which has
xxxxxx (dna code) start from sequence number x until number y without any
gap. Picture at this address
http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambar:Protein_alignment.jpg (a few sequence
has gap, I don't want it) just for example. I think NCBI's online blast
cannot filter with specific criteria, am I right? By combining PIL (Python
Image Library) with a nice standalone program (GTK/wxPython) is nice.
Another advantages by using customize program/toolkit, I can do anything
with the database in my local network, after I mirrored the database.

Does anyone work with PIL+biopython?
