xmlget

xmlget retrieves, parses, and rewrites XML entries within the EMBOSS suite to enable integration and exchange of molecular biology data.

Key Features:

• Data retrieval and parsing: Accesses XML entries from local files and remote resources and parses the XML content for downstream use.
• Format transformation: Rewrites parsed XML into various output formats to enable integration with other tools and workflows.
• EMBOSS integration: Implements functionality using the EMBOSS C programming libraries as its computational foundation.
• Extensibility: Supports customization and extension of its XML handling capabilities within the EMBOSS codebase.

Scientific Applications:

• Molecular biology workflows: Handles XML-formatted biological data used for storing and exchanging sequence, annotation, and related molecular biology information.
• Data integration: Facilitates integration of disparate datasets to support analyses in genomics, proteomics, and other omics fields.

Methodology:

Fetches XML entries from local files or remote resources, parses the retrieved XML, and rewrites the parsed data into specified formats using the EMBOSS C programming libraries.
