[Bioperl-l] Bio::SeqIO::genbank Keywords Question

[Jonathan B Joseph]

Yes, that exactly what I'm wondering.  As you stated - 'is there a magic 
reason' for stripping off the semicolons in the genbank keywords line.  I'm 
inclined to think that stripping off the semicolons from the genbank keywords 
line was a mistake (in the absence of a response).  The correction appears to 
be the removal of one line in the Bio::SeqIO::genbank module.

Take care,
Jonathan
