[Biojava-l] get Sequence by GeneID

The getSequence() method interrogates NCBI via the eUtils Java tool
(part of Entrez) and downloads Genbank-format files which it then parses
into RichSequence objects.

It can only search by primary ID using EFetch (see eUtils documentation
here:
http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/static/eutils_help.html#PrimaryIDs
), but the GI is returned for all records as part of the result.

The GI tag (from the VERSION field) is retrieved by calling
getIdentifier() - it is returned without the GI: prefix.

cheers,
Richard
