Right now I'm doing, one at a time: n.search("gene", "FBgn0041721")I'm
trying to get the gene ID corresponding to a Flybase gene ID.
This takes forever, since you can only do one every three seconds.
Also, sometimes it returns two items, and one might be deprecated--but
there's no way to tell.
Is there a way to batch search with BioRuby for a whole bunch of Flybase
IDs?
Many thanks,
