[Bioperl-l] novice project: automatically update expired Swiss-Prot IDs

Here is a blog entry describing how to use Expacy IDTracker to find a new id
based on old one:

http://nsaunders.wordpress.com/2008/03/07/missing-links-using-swissprot-idtracker-in-your-code/

Would be nice to add this  into BioPerl Bio::DB::SwissProt->get_Seq_by_id().
(Although I still do not understand why anyone would insist on using IDs rather
than accession numbers where this is done automatically.)

This would be a good novice project.


Any takers?
