Hi guys,
thank you for your help. Im sorry i missed to give the information about 
the DB i have. Ok, i have DB of human genome which is only the reference 
genome organized in chromosomes in fasta format. Then formatted with the 
makeblastdb provided with blast+.
I will now go and read about the suggestions you provided and hopefully 
i solve the problem. Otherwise i suppose i have to parse the DB and 
search for the appropriate positions 'manually'.

Cheers
Dimitar

Beyond that you'll need to be more specific.

I have my human genome in a local DB and some "from-to" data sets corresponding to different chromosomes. So i want to get the DNA seqs for these from-to's. I know i can do that the normal way but if there is a way to do it with BioPerl it will be more consistent with the rest of the code.
