Hello Dave

Thank you very much for yours response. Indeed my question might be split as
you did :)

So first:
Yours suggestion below as to use Bio::DB::Fasta shall make trick. Thanks
very much !

As per second part : I probably did not explained properly what I had in
mind. However the link you included below seems to address this matter:
quoting exerted phrase 'Although coordinate conversion sounds pretty trivial
it can get fairly tricky when one includes the possibilities of switching to
coordinates on negative (i.e. Crick) strands and/or having a coordinate
system terminate because you have reached the end of a clone or contig.'. The
issue is indeed in the coordinate conversion. In the specific example, I
have been concerned with: I used Cbriggsae chromosomal set to run external
program and find out the output depends sometimes on strand polarity...
(this is getting even more complicated when used other assemblies/ db
freezes offering the sequences differing in lenght). I will need bit more
time to describe this specific example.

Thanks very much again.

Wadim

Hi Wadim,

I would like to extract the batch of subsequences (as fastas),  based on

Take a look at Bio::DB::Fasta.

I don't totally understand this part of your question, but this may help:
