[Bioperl-l] Get variation included in genbank file

I'm not sure I understand the question.

As far as I know, Genbank records don't include SNP information. See for example the record for human p53 (which has SNPs):

I think though you should be able to get to a dbSNP record if you have a NM_ accession number using the BioPerl interface to NCBI's EUtilities.

More information here:

If that's not what you're after, could you clarify what you want to do?
