Hi all,

with reference to this earlier thread in November about indexing FASTA
and FASTQ files,

  http://lists.idyll.org/pipermail/biology-in-python/2009-November/000499.html

I posted an update:

  http://ivory.idyll.org/blog/mar-10/storing-and-retrieving-sequences.html

Basically, taking James Casbon's advice, we've switched to using sqlite as our
backend for the dirty work of storing sequences.

Comments & random thoughts welcome, as always.

cheers,
