Hi Nico,

I remember that not long time ago you talked about the eutils :
"It makes it easier to construct the elink URL directly in code than to go through a whole array of member functions to make it work
". In this point I am agree with you.

Actually I found a Bug with a at least a kind of url when you try to get a part of a genomic region:
if you refresh the following link you will see that sometimes you get the complement sequence and vice versa :
http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=nucleotide&id=51472791&rettype=fasta&seq_start=5594723&seq_stop=5628008&strand=1



Cheers !

Fred
