[Bioperl-l] SGD GFF3 file available soon

[Jason Stajich]

Stan -

I am very much looking forward to this - up till now I have had to
reformat the .tab file myself just to get a working GFF3 where Bio::DB:GFF
aggregators would behave properly.  Looks like what you have for the
gene/CDS sets and will give it a try in my db/scripts.  Will be very happy
to see it all consolidated as you have done so nice work.
