[EMBOSS] Antwort: Genbank GI fetching?

[Niels Larsen]

Hi .. I did run dbxflat like this

dbxflat -dbname test -dbresource test -idformat gb -filenames \
'gbbct7.seq' -directory . -fields=id,acc,sv,des,key,org

and got an index where entries can be fetched with

seqret test:AM260486 -stdout -auto

but not with

seqret test:106880293 -stdout -auto

where 106880293 is the GI number from the AM260486. Maybe
I am specifying the usa wrong .. ?
