NAME

bp_genbank2gff.pl - Load a Bio::DB::GFF database from GENBANK files.

SYNOPSIS

% bp_genbank2gff.pl -d genbank -f localfile.gb
% bp_genbank2gff.pl -d genbank --accession AP003256
% bp_genbank2gff.pl --accession AP003256 --stdout

DESCRIPTION

This script loads a Bio::DB::GFF database with the features contained in a either a local genbank file or an accession that is fetched from genbank. Various command-line options allow you to control which database to load and whether to allow an existing database to be overwritten.

The database must already have been created and the current user must have appropriate INSERT and UPDATE privileges. The --create option will initialize a new database with the appropriate schema, deleting any tables that were already there.
