[Bioperl-l] concatenate two embl sequence files

[jan aerts (RI)]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of an easy way to concatenate two sequences, including
recalculation of features positions of the second one? E.g.
  seq 1 = 100 bp
    feature A: 5..15
  seq 2 = 200 bp
    feature B: 20..30
  => concatenated sequence 3 = 300 bp
       feature A: 5..15
       feature B: 120..130  <<<<<<<<<<<

Annotations (features without range) should be transferred as well.

Of course, it must be possible to create a blank sequence and work my
way through all features, adding them to a new collection of features
and stuff. But I was wondering if a simpler technique is possible.

Many thanks,
