	Did you try to get the ID list from the xml? I doesn't seem to work. Since I'm no java programmer I did not yet try to parse the output myself. If you do get the ID list from the XML could you show me how?

Hi Paul, I've got the same probs as Chewy. I'm trying to split the ID list from esearch so that I can feed that into the efetch utility...at the moment the xml splitter just isn't doing the job...you don't happen to have a "esearch output to efetch input parser" processor lying around do you? Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, Jonathan

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the late reply.

I have uploaded a new verison, which should cater for your requirements.

cheers,

Paul.

Hi Paul, running this workflow, I only get the first 20 IDs. Is it possible to adapt the workflow to get the list of all the IDs resulting from particular search?

Thank you in advance for your help.

This workflow takes in a CDNA raw file and a normalisation method then returns a series of images/graphs which represent the same output obtained using the R and bioconductor. Also retruned by this workflow are a list of the top differentialy expressed genes (size dependant on the number specified as input - geneNumber), which are then used to find the candidate pathways which may be influencing the observed changes in the microarray data. By identifying the candidate pathways, more detailed...

Perform an NCBI BLAST sequence similarity search using NCBI's QBLAST service (see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/Doc/urlapi.html). The query sequence, database to search and BLAST program to use are inputs, the other parameters for the search are allowed to default.
