[Bioperl-l] How to store results of searches of translated DNA in SeqFeature::Store database of the original DNA?

[Scott Cain]

Hi Doug,

I don't know if any of the things you've thought of would work; I've
never tried it.  My inclination would be to express your data in GFF3
and use the standard loader.
