This depends on how you read the original request. What was asked for on
some meta level is the supported update of standard databases in
bioinformatics. This implies the definition of respective locations
and a naming scheme for the downloaded files that come in so many
different formats. We do not have that.
If we had this, though, all the other packages like EMBOSS, BioPerl or blast
could be rendered much more powerful by reducing overhead for the
administrators. Maybe we want a file in /etc that defines the location
of the databases which may be anywhere in the local network or a
a web service for the retrieval of individual entries which would then not be
usable for search tools. Or are there already web services that do blast
searches? Probably.
Many Greetings
Steffen
Nice to see altana using Debian.
