your suggestion for blastdbn and blastdbp sounds fine. it's okay if a few of our users need to edit the metadata of the dbs in their history. thanks for asking and doing this. On Thu, Apr 26, 2012 at 5:37 AM, Peter Cock <p.j.a.cock@googlemail.com>wrote:
Hi Edward,
I've started work on this in earnest now. I see you only defined one new datatype, blastdb, which worked for nucleotide databases. I want to handle protein databases too, so I think two datatypes makes sense - which I am currently calling blastdbn and blastdbp.
That won't be compatible with your existing tools & history, but other than that seems sensible to me. I suppose we could use blastdb and blastdb_p which would match the *.loc files?
What do you think?
Peter
