Hi all,
wht do people think about putting back the molecule in bioentry? If I
understand correctly, it's not the same as the alphabet (e.g.
mulecule='mRNA', alphabet='dna')
Background: I'm storing blast results between local sequences and remote
nr or somesuch. So I've got most of the bioentry data without the
sequence (*), often without GI, but with a molecule type. And the user
may later ask for the full info: sequence data, annotations, references,
etc. To use Entrez, I need to know its database, nucleotide or protein.
(nope, can't use biodatabase for this -- too easy)

(*) Well, some of it, sure; but I've chosen currently to have a "hsp"
table with a "sbjct" field. Ready to take advice on this, too :)
