<font size="4"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Accession Numbers and NCBI Lookup for Biblio Extension to OpenWetWare</span><br style="font-weight: bold;"></font><br>I'm looking into adding GenBank Accession Number lookup, a feature which has been mentioned in the past. To do this, I need to know what the set of information from GenBank would be that people would like to see available.
<br><br>This is a cop of the the current comment on the Software/Features page:<br>(<span style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://openwetware.org/wiki/OpenWetWare:Software/Feature_requests">http://openwetware.org/wiki/OpenWetWare:Software/Feature_requests
</a></span>)<br><ul><li>Initially, this might be just an extension to Biblio to allow
referencing by accession number. Eventually, this could pull in info
from databases.

<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">"U49845". </span><br><br>There's an additional version number on he next line:<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">"U49845.1 GI:1293613". <br><br></span>
Does the version number generally get used in citations or is the Accession Number adequate?<br><br>Using the Accession number, I can point the Biblio reference to the NCBI page (similar to the example) for that particular number. Is the version number also needed?
