[Bioperl-l] possible to skip parsing features when callingBio::SeqIO::new?

[Brian Osborne]

Scott,

Why would you want to do this? I can imagine one reason, that there's some
problem with a feature causing the script to exit. In that case do something
like:

my $seq;
eval { $seq = $seqIterator->next_seq; };

I'm using BioPerl 1.4 to read a GenBank sequence file.  Is there
an option or parameter I can set in the

my $::seqIterator = Bio::SeqIO->new("-file"   => "$file",
                                     "-format" => "genbank");

call that will cause the parser to skip the features?

I checked BioPerl 1.5RC2 and didn't see any changes there
that would address my question.

Scott
