Hi Will-

Sorry for the delay... I was out of town.

Dang, this is proving to be harder than I expected. The end point I was
hoping for was to use the Ensembl API on NCBI transcripts so that I could
use SliceAdaptor::fetch_by_region, Slice::get_all_Transcripts,
TranscriptMapper, etc. If I understand your suggestion, I don't think I get
that functionality. (And, I don't have a gff3 of NCBI annotations either.)


Do any of the Ensembl devs have any advice?
