[Bioperl-l] Protein ID to Gene ID

[Hilmar Lapp]

GenBank has the protein-mRNA cross-reference in the feature table, 
hence you would need to look into the tag/value pairs of a sequence's 
features. DBSOURCE I believe is only present for those entries 
originating from UniProt (i.e., not natively from GenBank).

On top of all that, the tags GenBank uses for their entry annotation 
are not the ones BioPerl uses to tag its annotation objects - BioPerl 
is not an API solely for GenBank. Consult the Bio::SeqIO::genbank POD 
for documentation on what goes where in the BioPerl object model.
