[Bioperl-l] "jump" to the right sequence in a SeqIO object

[Torsten Seemann]

> This file contains 100 fasta sequences.  Right now I only want to deal with
> two of them, with the display ID "X" and "Y" respectively.
> My question is, is there some other way to do that? Is it possible to
> locate the two sequences that have the display ID as "X" and "Y" directly, without looping
> through the whole list?
