[Bioperl-l] bioperl newbie needs help with extracting cds info

[Barry Moore]

Sheri-

The Bio::SeqFeature::Generic object has a 'strand' method, so you can  
just call strand on the CDS (or any other) feature like this.

   my @features = grep { $_->primary_tag eq 'CDS' } $seq- 
 >get_SeqFeatures();
   for my $feature (@features) {
	  my $strand = $feature->strand;
  }
