g'd'evening,

what's the relation between an entry alphabet and its sequence?

Case in point: Tests/cor6_6.gb, first entry.
ATCOR66M is a mRNA, but the sequence is a DNA one (as documented by the 
NCBI).  So:

* what do biologists prefer?

* what to store in a BioSQL record (BioPerl says dna)?

Thanks,

yves
