Is some of the information originally contained in the GAME input lost along the way? I.e., if I wanted to, could I round-trip GAME through BioSQL (assuming that Bioperl GAME SeqIO could write GAME which I think it can't)?

Hi Hilmar,

We definitely have a GAME reader. I don't know if we have a GAME writer 
though. I've had reasonable success round-tripping stuff with the 
biojava BioSQL driver. Your script would look something like 
frankenstein's child of game.TestGAME and biosql.UploadFlat both under 
the biojava-live/demos directory.
