[EMBOSS] Antwort: Retrieve data from entrez

[david.bauer at bayer.com]

Hi,

the entrez method looks at the type (N or P) to formulate the eutils 
request to the ncbi server.
As NP_ is a protein sequence, the database specified in the request must 
be protein and not nucleotide.
So you need two separate entries in emboss.default for nucleotide and 
protein sequences.

David.
