[Bioperl-l] retrieve old sequence versions

[Heikki Lehvaslaiho]

NCBI now has a page for retrieving older sequence versions:

	http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:80/htbin-post/Entrez/girevhist

Using that page, I've hacked a new method get_Seq_by_version() into
Bio::DB::GenBank. As a side effect we got get_Seq_by_gi() and
get_stream_by_gi().

Call it    $seq = $gb->get_Seq_by_version('A00002.1');


Enjoy,

	-Heikki
