[Bioperl-l] genbank

[Jason Stajich]

Dimitar -

In terms of your question - a GenBank db query previously (ie 4-5 years 
ago when this was written) WOULD NOT return a sequence if a GenPept ID 
was specified so we had to have a separate module for GenBank and 
GenPept db querying since there was a different set of parameters - I 
think that changed so that most of the queries can run through GenBank

I see that must have been improved at NCBI.  For the record if you want 
the full GenPept record with features and annotations you just request a 
different db, in this case 'gb' for genbank instead of the fasta source
As in: http://gist.github.com/721012

But maybe you already figured it out?

But i want to download and write to output file one by one so i can see the download progress(which is working for genbank data).
