[Bioperl-l] removing duplicate fasta records

[Paul Boutros]

A non-bioperl solution is to load the sequences into a database field with
a uniqueness constraint required.  This assumes that your sequences aren't
no longer than a few kb, otherwise some DB's won't want to enforce
constraints on them.
