[Bioperl-l] How to draw a plasmid map from a genbank-formatted file?

[Chris Fields]

Is 99.gb supposed to be a GenBank file?  And you're loading it into  
embl2picture (which I assume takes EMBL format files)?  Without  
example code we can easily make the wrong assumptions (i.e. that this  
is user error and not a BioPerl problem).

Also, I don't believe the feature plotting scripts plot circular  
chromosomes/plasmids.  If you want this functionality you'll have to  
code it for yourself.
