The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

Changes for version 1.0.2

  • o Note: The modules Bio::DB::GenBank and Bio::DB::GenPept provided in this release will not work after December 2002 when NCBI shuts off the old Entrez cgi scripts. We have already fixed on our main development branch and the functionality will be available in the next stable bioperl release (1.2) slated for Fall 2002.
  • o Numerous parsing bugs in Bio::SearchIO::fasta found through testset by Robin Emig. These were fixed as was the get_aln method in Bio::Search::HSP::GenericHSP to handle the extra context sequence that is provided with a FastA alignment.
  • o Migrating differences between Bio::Search::XX::BlastXX to Bio::Search::XX::GenericXX objects. This included mechanism to retrieve whole list of HSPs from Hits and whole list of Hits from Results in addition to the current next_XX iterator methods that are available. Added seq_inds() method to GenericHSP which identifies indexes in the query or hit sequences where conserved,identical,gaps, or mismatch residues are located (adapted from Steve Chervitz's implementation in BlastHSP).
  • o Bio::DB::GFF bugs fixed and are necessary for latest GBrowse release. Bio::DB::GFF::RelSegment is now Bio::SeqI compliant.
  • o Bio::Graphics glyph set improved and extended for GBrowse release
  • o Bio::Tree::Tree get_nodes implementation improvement thanks to Howard Ross notice performance problem when writing out unbalanced trees.
  • o Bio::Location::Fuzzy::new named parameter -loc_type became -location_type, Bio::Location::Simple::new named parameter -seqid becamse -seq_id.
  • o Fixed major Bio::AlignIO::emboss parsing bug on needle output, was mis-detecting that gaps should be placed at the beginning of the alignment when the best alignment starts internally in the sequence.
