[Bioperl-l] Genbank file : bad features (tag) order with /translation

[Maxime Déraspe]

I know that Artemis from sanger institute can convert a genbank file
into a sequin tab file. Then you could use that file to submit it to
ncbi with their sequin soft. But I think that the genbank file would be
ok too.
