[Bioperl-l] Fwd: populating gbrowse with genomic data rapidly

[Liam Elbourne]

Hi All,

Quel embarrassment, I just found the highly esteemed Dr Stein's http://search.cpan.org/~lds/GBrowse-1.993/docs/pod/GENBANK_HOWTO.pod 
  which is exactly what I asked for. Sorry for spamming everybody on  
the list!

Google first, ask questions later...

Regards,
Liam.
