[Bioperl-l] WP_ Accession Protein records

[wgallin at ualberta.ca]

I've been working on scripts that update a small database that I maintain 
from a selection or records in GENBANK.

I've encountered a problem and am wondering if anyone can suggest a 
work-around.

I am finding that the protein records that have been replaced by reference 
to a single entry in the WP_ series accessions in RefSeq have been 
annotated as removed, rather than replaced.

The result is that when I use a gi number from one of the original 
(pre-consolidation) entries to recover a record using Bio::DB::Eutilities 
tools to return a Document Summary I get a record that has the status 
listed as dead, rather than Replaced by WP_XXXXX.

In the on-line web interface, however, the search has a redirection to the 
appropriate WP_XXXXX record.

An example is gi number 71065499.

So my question is, is there a Feature other than status in the Document 
Summary record that gives forwarding information for records replaced by 
WP_XXXX series records?
