Description
This module was written to aid accessing specific reports from longer, multi part
WU-BLAST alignments reports. Depending on parameters and
starting input, BLAST reports may be several gigabytes in size. Extremely large files can prove
to be problematic and rate-limiting in post-process analysis. BLASTaid takes a multi-part BLAST
report and creates a byte index. Specific reports may be pulled directly from the larger set by
jumping directly to the entry via the byte-index. The index file need only be created one time
per BLAST report... the module automatically uses a supplied index file if it already exists. A
developer may also loop through every report in the multi-report in a systematic way.
