[Bioperl-l] Bioperl genbank access question (fwd)

[CHALFANT_CHRIS_M@Lilly.com]

There does seem to be a limit of 20 records.  The consensus is that this 
limit is imposed by NCBI.  You may want to look into using NCBI's eutils: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils.  They are the NCBI-sanctioned way of accessing data via a script.

Subject: Bioperl genbank access question

I am sorry to bother you with bioperl question but I ran into problems 
that
have escaped me for several days now.   Is there a limitation of the 
number
of records that can be fetched from Genbank?  I tried to use
get_stream_by_batch but seem to get only the first 20 records (I tried to
get around 40 records).  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.
