[Bioperl-l] Extracting sequences from GFF3

[Scott Cain]

Hi Dave,

I would use Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store (either with a database on the
backend or a flat file if a database isn't warranted):

  my $db      = Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store->new( -adaptor => 'memory',
                                                        -dir =>
'path/to/file' );

  # Warning: this returns a string, and not a PrimarySeq object
  my $sequence = $db->fetch_sequence('Chr1',5000=>6000);
