But in the case of a DNA sequence it doesn't really matter what
namespace it is, you still want to BLAST it the same as a DNA
from any other namespace.

I think this is an exception to an otherwise good rule which you guys

We have a collection of knockouts we've taken from a variety of
sources.  I need you biologists to tell me what would be a desirable
service signature for this data?  AGI to ???

Lincoln is involved with atidb.org. We should work with them since
they are striving to be the ultimate source for Ath mutants.
