  • bioperl blast parsing problem

    We recently upgraded our installation of blast from v2.2.19 to blast+ 2.2.26 and I have found that my bioperl blast xml parsers no longer work properly (typically they return some form of truncated result). Has anyone else encountered this and if this is a known problem have either the NCBI or BioPerl folks provided a solution.

    Thanks

    Mark

        Can't really help you there but have you considered other output formats (e.g. outfmt 6) and simply parsing your files with unix commands?

          Unfortunately, you can't get the hit description via that method, a serious shortcoming.

            What do you mean by hit description? There are like 40 fields to choose from..

              Subject description. Yes I know you could grab the oridinal ID and the go back to the blastdb and pull out the record and parse it's description from there but that's a bit of a pain so I would rather find out if there is a solution to the parsing of the xml output.

                  Yea, I know but I don't do the blast updates for our system and so can't take that route to a fix. Thanks for trying to help though.

                    Maybe your problem is related to an outdated XML::SAX? (first note). Just an idea..

                      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
                      by seqadmin


                      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
