[ensembl-dev] incorporation of dbSNP 132 into ensembl

[Pablo Marin-Garcia]

Hello Andrea,

Ensembl updates more frequently than people updates the API, so I recomend 
you to add the last line of this code in your scripts to be sure where you are 
connecting.

my $reg = 'Bio::EnsEMBL::Registry';

# load the registry from the db so you will be in sync with your API
$reg->load_registry_from_db(-host => 'ensembldb.ensembl.org', -user=>'anonymous') ;

# get some adaptors
my $sa  = $reg->get_adaptor('human','core', 'Slice'           );
my $vfa = $reg->get_adaptor('human','variation', 'VariationFeature');
my $va  = $reg->get_adaptor('human','variation', 'Variation');

# check the ensembl API and database versions in use
print {*STDERR} "# Ens version". $reg->software_version .". Connected to ".$sa->dbc->dbname . "\n";
