[Bioperl-l] Retrieving update sequence from GenBank

[Brian Osborne]

Ryan,

Bio::DB::SeqVersion is designed to do this:

    use Bio::DB::SeqVersion;

    my $query = Bio::DB::SeqVersion->new(-type => 'gi');

    # all GIs, which will include the GI used to query
    my @all_gis = $query->get_all(2);

    # the most recent GI, which may or may not be the GI used to query
    my $live_gi = $query->get_recent(2);
