[Bioperl-l] Interface directly to Unigene DB at NCBI?

[Andrew Macgregor]

Hi Jeffrey,

As NCBI only updates their unigene build every three weeks or so I've 
always found it just as easy to download the appropriate *.data file 
and load it into a local database and search that. That speeds it up 
for me and takes the load off NCBI servers.

Not really an answer sorry, but I hope this helps.
