8 * The searchio.t test is failing on cygwin installations (and
9 nowhere else). We need a developer who works with cygwin to
10 help us out here. We suspect something to do with temporary file
16 * Bio::Tools::Blast continues to cause problems for some people. As
17 it is not actively maintained there are a slew of reported bugs for
18 it that have not been fixed.
20 * Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::TCoffee - t_coffee binary does not get
21 all parameters it needs when aligning (two) two DNA sequences
24 * Bio::Tools::Run::ClustalW and t/ClustalW will report errors for
25 clustalw versions 1.8x due to a bug in clustalw.
27 * Bio::DB::GenBank continues to have intermittent errors. Bio::DB::GDB
28 is also unreliable at times and one can safely ignore errors from
29 these during a make test.
30 Bio::DB::GenBank is unable to download whole contig files as well
31 as NCBI ref seqs like NT_* numbers unless the -format flag is
32 passed in and specified as 'fasta' in the constructor.
33 get_Stream_by_batch() also has intermittent errors which are being
39 * NCBI has changed some of the cgi scripts for retrieving sequences
40 online which as resulted in some of the DB methods from not working
41 consistently. We are addressing these in the 0.9.x and 1.0 series
42 of releases. We recommend using the Bio::DB::EMBL object that is
43 part of the later releases.
45 Additionally RefSeq Contigs are not properly downloaded, please see
46 the bioperl list archives for information about potential
47 workarounds and ongoing development effort to address these.
51 * Bio::Tools::BPlite does not parse and set frame properly for
52 tblastx reports (Jitterbug bug # 978).
54 * Bio::Tools::BPlite interface needs to be updated to fix parsing
55 more than bl2seq report report (Jitterbug bug #940), this has been
56 fixed on the main code trunk and will be part of the next major
59 * If File::Temp is not installed, tempdirs are not cleaned up
60 properly. This is fixed on main code trunk with the introduction
61 of rmtree method in Bio::Root::IO, however, it is best to install
62 File::Temp when running 0.7 branch code.
64 * Bio::Tools::Blast does not allow users to run blast, instead use
65 Bio::Tools::Run::StandAloneBlast to run local blasts. To submit
66 jobs to a remote blast server like NCBI a module
67 Bio::Tools::Run::RemoteBlast has been written but is part of the
68 main trunk code and must be obtained through CVS until the next
69 major bioperl release.
