[Bioperl-l] Add sequence feature

[Jessica Sun]

Thanks. I somehow get these error messages.

--------------------- WARNING ---------------------
MSG:  Bio::SeqIO::genbank=HASH(0xa7ba1c) is not a SeqI compliant module.
Attempting to dump, but may fail!
---------------------------------------------------
Can't locate object method "seq" via package "Bio::SeqIO::genbank" at
/Library/Perl/5.8.8/Bio/SeqIO/genbank.pm line 760, <GEN0> line 447.

by doing this,

my $feat = new Bio::SeqFeature::Generic(-start                 =>20,
                                        -end         => $40,
                                        -primary_tag => 'newfeature' );
                                    $feat->add_tag_value("note","this is
notes");
  $f->add_SeqFeature($feat); ## f is original feature pointer
$io = Bio::SeqIO->new(-format => "genbank", -file => ">$newoutfile" );

    $io->write_seq($seqio_object);
