[ensembl-dev] API function for searching by gene name changed?

[Adam Witney]

Hi,

I am trying to pull genes out by their gene name (e.g. pmrA in species 
"pseudomonas_aeruginosa*"), in a previous release I used this function:

my $genes = $dba->get_GeneAdaptor()->fetch_all_by_external_name("pmrA");

but now in release 73 this doesn't seem to retrieve any results. Has the 
function for searching on this string changed?

Thanks

Adam
