[Bioperl-l] HomoloGene

[Andrew Macgregor]

Hi Amir,

I'm just going by the readme. It looks to me that the unigene field 
in either the first or the second organism can be blank.

This is the case in the example you give. It has LL and unigene for 
org 1 but no accession number then LL but no unigene number or 
accession number for org 2.

Cheers, Andrew.
