= Random ideas from Jan Aerts = Mind that this is *very* incomplete. Just to help my really bad memory. As the issue is interoperability of the Bio* toolkits, we don't have to synchronise the toolkits at the object level, but rather at the interface level. So let's see if each toolkit reads and writes a GenBank/Fasta/... serialization in the same way. Input can either be an original GenBank/Fasta/... file or a dbfetch from any database. * What should be conserved: * Tags * for a sequence: lower/uppercase * What not necessarily should be conserved: * for a sequence over multiple lines: length of each line Back to [wiki:ListOfTopics]
