[Bioperl-l] Genome location of sequences

[Sean Davis]

Jon,

Depending on how much use and how much "batch" querying you will be doing,
you can fairly easily set up a GFF relational database and load the
chromosome data into it.  You can then do "local" slice-like queries.  You
can also load features if you have them in GFF format.  See Bio::DB::GFF for
some examples of what you can do.
