[Bioperl-l] Fwd: Extracting gene seq from Bio::DB::GFF

Many thanks Lincoln,

Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store seems to work fine with me as in:

use Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store;
my $db = Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store->new(-adaptor => 'DBI::mysql',
                                        -dsn => 'dbi:mysql:dmel_43_SeqF');
while (<>){
    chomp;
    my $id = $_;
    my @feats = $db->get_features_by_alias($id);
    for my $f (@feats){
        print "$id -> ", $f->name, "\n" if $f->type eq 'gene';
    }
}

get a list of FBgn ids and spits out the gene name. The good thing now is
that I am getting the same number of output gene as the number of genes in
my starting list (As oposed to when I was using Bio::DB::GFF).

My only problem is that I had to guess that the method type() and
attributes() were available. My understanding by now is that
get_features_by_alias() return a Bio::DB::Feature, however, I couldn't find
any documentation on that object (it does not return a Bio::SeqFeatureI as I
originally thought).

Is the Bio::DB::Feature essentially a clone of the Bio::DB::GFF::Feature?

Many thanks again, 

Marco
