[Bioperl-l] Sequences for joined features (in a Genbank file)

[jchuang@ucsf-104-53.ucsf.edu]

Hi,

I'm trying to extract the DNA sequence from features of genbank files
(e.g. the CDS). The seq function does this great whenever I have a
contiguous sequence, but it doesn't appear to work properly when the
feature is made up of joined sequences.  Instead of a patching together of 
all the joined subsequences, I get the sequence starting with the first 
start site and ending with the last end site.

Is there a way to extract the patched together sequence instead? I 
couldn't tell from the docs if this feature had been implemented. The 
Location modules look relevant, but I didn't see a way to use them on 
sequence objects.

Thanks for any help.

Jeff
