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

[Sébastien Moretti]

Thanks for this alternative method.

Nevertheless it seems I still need a species name somewhere:
- with the -species argument
- or with the -dbname argument that, I guess, should be the species
   core database name.

Isn't it ?
