[Bioperl-l] Entrez Gene parser questions

[Stefan Kirov]

Ani,
Also pleas let me know if you find anything weird. I think GIs might 
have a tab at the end. Also note that (at least as of April 25th) 
EntrezGene ASN file does not have Gene ontology for Drosophila. So far I 
have not heard from NCBI help desk on that.
