What else would you like Interpro scan to do?

From our bioinformatics wizard here in the Sil lab, a quick note:

"InterProScan is running a survey to get feedback on their tools/website.  If you use InterProScan, this is a great opportunity to tell them how you use it and how they can make it even better for you."

I asked them to pre-construct phylogenetic trees of protein domains, possibly even adding a tool that will place a query domain within said tree to facilitate making initial guesses about evolutionary relationships.  I construct my own for domains of interest, but if Interpro has the capacity and there's sufficient demand, then it might be a helpful service for others with less access to the requisite software and expertise.
