[Bioperl-l] Genome location of sequences

[Jonathan Manning]

Hi, 

Thanks for the replies. I'm actually writing this as part of a utility
to be used by non-specialists, the idea being that all they have to do
is submit a query string/accession and wait. So anything requiring a
manual input-like downloading chromosomal coordinates from websites
might be out of the question - I'll try the BLAST location idea.

Having said that, extrapolating from another recent posting, maybe LWP
would work for the genome browser form? How easy/ useful is that? Sorry
if I'm edging a bit off-topic from Bioperl.....

Cheers,

Jon
