[Bioperl-l] (no subject)

[Strassel, Chris]

Hi all,

I've been learning the modules for parsing genbank records. Pretty
impressive. I am about to make a couple of additions to provide some
functionality I need, and wanted to ask a couple questions before I begin...

I have seen some postings about parsing fuzzy locations for features, but I
get the impression that this isn't a function that exists yet. Can anyone
confirm?

Same for sequence versions (i.e. the gene index number on the version line).

The author line(s) are not currently parsed. Has anyone done/tried to do
this? Comments would be appreciated.

Finally, I am unsure about how to go about adding functionality.  Create my
own objects that inherit from the bioperl objects? Add functions directly to
the bioperl objects? Something else?

Thanks in advance,
Chris
