[Bioperl-l] RE: BioPerl question

[Brian Desany]

I don't know if you've tried this or not, but $seq->desc should get
everything else.
If the header is on more than one line (possible with long headers that have
had line-breaks inserted into them by dumb programs, like e-mail clients)
then that would need to be fixed first.
