[Bioperl-l] GenBank ASN.1 SeqIO parser

[Chris Fields]

Bio::SeqIO::entrezgene should do this.  Any dbxrefs (including GO IDs)  
should be stored in the annotation collection, but I'm not sure how it  
is parsed; you'll have to test it out.

I agree with Jason; ASN.1 isn't a very friendly format.  Don't know  
why NCBI sticks with it, but I'm sure they have their reasons (I think  
this may have been discussed before on the list).
