[Bioperl-l] Point me in the right direction--chromosomal positions

[Sean Davis]

Dan,

What organism?  What are you looking up--refseq, genbank, gene names, 
locuslink?  I would suggest you use the table browser at UCSC 
(http://genome.ucsc.edu) or EnsMART (http://www.ensembl.org) unless there is 
some reason those won't work.  Bioperl doesn't have a mechanism to retrieve 
locations directly, at least that I know of (aside from DAS).  You can build 
databases to do help with that, but that is a bit of work for a problem with 
an existing solution.  You could also look into the EnsEMBL API.

Let me know if I can help with using those web interfaces.

Sean
