[Bioperl-l] Fwd: URGENT! Update of Bio::DB::SwissProt

[Jason Stajich]

Okay, I am forwarding to the mailing list, I guess no one has updated the module in a while to reflect this change.  

Am I right in thinking the right way to get a Swissprot record by accession is now like this -- perhaps a developer can refactor the code to be use this URL base soon.

Thanks.
