[ensembl-dev] Gene adaptor when the species is unknown]

[Susan Fairley]

Hi Sebastien,

If you have a DBAdaptor you can then get a gene adaptor without
mentioning the species.

my $genedb = new Bio::EnsEMBL::DBSQL::DBAdaptor( -host   => $gene_host,
                                              -user   => $gene_user,
                                              -pass   => $gene_pass,
                                              -port   => $gene_port,
                                              -dbname => $gene_dbname);


my $ga = $genedb->get_GeneAdaptor();

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Susan.
