What is libbio-asn1-entrezgene-perl

Bio::ASN1::EntrezGene and Bio::ASN1::Sequence are regular expression-based parsers for NCBI Entrez Gene genome databases (http://www.ncbi.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=gene).
They parse ASN.1-formatted Entrez Gene records and NCBI sequences, returning data structures that contain all data items from the gene records or the sequence records.
The parser will report error & line number if input data does not conform to the NCBI Entrez Gene genome or NCBI Sequence annotation file format.
Bio::ASN1::Sequence is basically a modified version of the high-performance Bio::ASN1::EntrezGene parser. However this standalone module exists since it is more efficient to keep Sequence-specific code out of EntrezGene.pm.
