[Biodevelopers] XML schema/API for BLAST?

[Abhik Shah]

I know for sure that NCBI's Blast supports XML output. The XML Schema is
here:

http://www.kaiseryang.com/bio/db/NCBI_XSD.html

BioPerl, BioJava and others have parsers (and possibly example code)  for
the XML output. As for input, I don't think NCBI's Blast supports XML-RPC
or SOAP.  IBM has some free SOAP wrappers for common bioinformatics
services (including BLAST) here:

or you can just write you own wrapper..
