  • 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.

                You mean stitle/salltitles? But yeah, 2.2.28+ only.

                  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                    Maybe your problem is related to an outdated XML::SAX?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..

                      Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
                      by seqadmin




                      The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...

                      Quality Control Essentials for Next-Generation Sequencing Workflows
                      by seqadmin




                      Like all molecular biology applications, next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows require diligent quality control (QC) measures to ensure accurate and reproducible results. Proper QC begins at nucleic acid extraction and continues all the way through to data analysis. This article outlines the key QC steps in an NGS workflow, along with the commonly used tools and techniques.
