[Bioperl-l] Fwd: Extracting gene seq from Bio::DB::GFF

Lincoln, 

I can¹t seem to find how to fetch genes by their FBgn id (which seems to now
be the official GadFly unique identifier for genes...). The
get_feature_by_name method uses the real gene name not the FBgn id... I can
see that the FBgn ids are store in the attributes table in the mySQL
database with an attribute id of 7. I tried using
Œget_features_by_attribute({parent_id => $FBgn})¹ without success.

What is the trick??

Also, there is a typo in the Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store documentation.

...
         # ...by type
         @features = $db->get_features_by_name('gene');
...

Should read  
...
         # ...by type
         @features = $db->get_features_by_type('gene');
...

Many thanks

Marco
