[Bioperl-l] Entrez Gene parser

[Stefan Kirov]

Thanks Hilmar. I think it's not (I think). It is on Sourceforge though. 
The link is in the entrezgene.pm doc. Mingyi, could you put it in CPAN? 
By the way there are 'fake' Entrez Gene records that do break the 
parser. They are designed, as far as I know, to hold GRIF data and I 
don't think they should be parsed at all. Maybe I will include a filter 
to look for those.
I will work on the parser after Tuesday, I need to work on my 
immigration stuff and it is not fun at all :-( .
