[Bioperl-l] SeqHound

[Chris Fields]

The URL has changed.  I'll fix this in bioperl-live.

You can fix this in your script directly for now (though I hate  
globals):

use Bio::DB::SeqHound;

$Bio::DB::SeqHound::HOSTBASE = 'http://dogboxonline.unleashedinformatics.com/' 
;

my $sh = Bio::DB::SeqHound->new();
my $seq = $sh->get_Seq_by_acc("CAA28783");
print $seq->display_name, "\n";
