Arne,
You can have ASN1 format returned if you are running local NCBI BLAST
by adding -O and -J parameters...
for example...
blastall -p blastn -d est -i brca1.nt -J T -o brca1.nt.report -O brca1.nt.asn1
If you are using local databases you will have to format your deflines like
Genbank does e.g. >gi|129628|sp|P07175|PARA_AGRTU PARA PROTEIN...
to have this feature work correctly...
Then you can write an ASN1 parser that will not be subject to the same
kinds of changes that a Human Readable BLAST Report Parser is.
