[Bioperl-l] Question

[Jason Stajich]

It can't be done right now.

Eventually when someone wants to write the hook into Entrez query system
this will be possible - will need a new function for this.  Should be
quite simple but it requires a 2-query system where you send the Entrez
query and get a list of GIs and then a subsequence query to get the
sequence information.  Our current retrieval model assumes sequence
identifiers as queries and gets back a set of sequences.
