[Bioperl-l] genbank2gff.pl choking on CONTIG sections

[Scott Cain]

Hi all,

The BioPerl script bp_genbank2gff.pl, which will either convert a
Genbank record to GFF or load it directly to a Bio::DB::GFF database,
is choking on GenBank records with CONTIG sections.  Since I don't
think these would ever be useful for generating GFF or loading into a
database (ie, the user will want to get all of the features on the
parts, not know what the parts are), is there a way to force a
Bio::DB::WebDBSeqI/Bio::DB::BioFetch to get the full record (like
specifying view=gbwithparts in the url at ncbi)?

Thanks,
Scott
