[Biopython-dev] Genbank dbSNP support

[Tiago Antão]

Hi,

Any plans for dbSNP support?
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/index.html

I think I would volunteer to implement this. A simple solution would
be to add both databases and return types. Michiel (I suppose this is
code that you are actively maintaining, or it is Peter?), can I send
you a diff? I have done this once already for genome -

dbSNP can return different types (
http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/static/efetchseq_help.html#rettypeparam
) so a few parsers would be needed for complete support. But that can
be done later...
