[Bioperl-l] Scanning GenPept entries does not work

Dear all,

obviously, NCBI-GenPept entries in GenBank file format cannot be parsed, since
the regular expression in line 185 of genbank.pm expects "bp" while protein
entries have "aa" in their LOCUS line. Furthermore, GenPept entries don't have a
molecule in their LOCUS line.

Do you think it would suffice to alter the regular expression, or are there
other implications with using the GenBank parser for GenPept files?

Regards

Henrik
