[Bioperl-l] bioperl-db: exporting data

[Johan Viklund]

Hi

I'm trying to add COG annotations from Entrez Gene to sequences (from
refseq in genbank format) I have in a biosql database (on mysql). The
problem is I can't get them out again with the bioentry2flat.pl script
(the bioentries appears without what i've added).

I don't use bioperl for this (i've got ~40000 COG annotations (linked
to GeneIDs)). Instead I add it to the seqfeature_qualifer_value table
similar to the way GeneID:s are represented (as far as i've figured),
with term_id corresponding to db_xref, the same seqfeature_id as the
GeneID had and rank i've tried a few different variations but none
seem to work (the first free that's larger than GeneID and 1).

How should I add this annotation to the database so it gets exported
when I use bioperl?

I've also got another question: What is rank for?
