[Gusdev-gusdev] tigr format

[Jinal J. <jjh...@vb...>]

Dear GUS Gurus,


Has anyone tried to dump the tab delimited data available from tigr into gus? 
We have annotation available from genbank, tigr and swissprot and would like 
to store all of them in gus and then compare their overlaps and deltas. 
Initially a workaround that came to my mind is to convert the tigr format to 
gbk (using bioperl) and upload it using gbparser. But it seems like it is not 
the ideal way to do this and there can be many inconsistencies in allocating 
the genbank id . Can I directly parse the information from the tab-delimited 
file and store it in the gus db w/o using any parser (or writing my own) 
using perl/dbi. I ask this because, though I know that I can write such a 
script, I am not too sure about what implications it can have on the perl and 
java objects? Will they understand the data entered by me directly w/o using 
any gus module? (or in the worst case by using submitRow)? Any other issues 
that I am missing?


thanks
