[OWW-SC] Genbank Accession Number question

[Julius B. Lucks]

I have a use for genome accession numbers as well.  How would the  
biblio extension work though?  The full genome record is obviously  
huge - would it display the top few lines of the record, with links  
to the full record?

Cheers,

Julius
