[Bioperl-l] GenBank Feature: variation

[Nicolaus Hepler]

Brian,

A sample accession is BC000007.  I figured a way around it though.   
Rather than automate the whole process, I just downloaded from Batch  
Entrez a flat .gb file of all my accessions.  It's not flexible, and  
will be inconvenient when we expand the dataset, but it will provide  
me with data to work with for now.
