[Bioperl-l] can't retrive certain sequences from remote db

[Jason Stajich]

Do they actually show up if you enter them at the
NCBI search page.  What about from the EMBL search page at EBI?  What
about using the Bio::DB::EMBL interface to search EMBL instead of
searching GenBank?

Are you actually searching a protein accession against a Nucleotide
database or vice-versa?

Various reasons could explain the problems but we'd need to know the
answers to those questions first.
