[Bioperl-l] refseqs

[Sean Davis]

Although this is not a strictly bioperl answer, you can simply use the
genome browser (http://genome.ucsc.edu) table browser to get the exon
sequences for all refseq genes directly.  Go to the refseq positional table,
go to advanced query, choose FASTA as the download type, then you will have
a choice of downloading coding sequence only, UTR's, etc., and other
options.  The exons will each be a separate FASTA sequence with the refseq
ID, chromosome start and end, and other information in the FASTA header
line.  To do all of this takes about 30 seconds.

Hope this helps.
