* The old parser stores information in a
Bio.Blast.NCBIXML.Blast object, with attribute names based on
plain-text Blast output. The new parser stores information in
a Bio.Blast.Record object. This class follows the DTD that
describes the XML in terms of attribute names and dictionary
key names, class structure, and object types. This makes it
easier to find the detailed description of each field in the
NCBI Blast documentation.
* The old parser stores alignment information directly as seen
in the BLAST XML output, i.e. as strings with dashes to
represent gaps. The new parser stores the alignment
information as a Bio.Align.Alignment object, which can then
be used to e.g. print the alignment in a different format.
