=head2 get_Seq_by_acc

  Title   : get_Seq_by_acc
  Usage   : $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_acc($acc);
  Function: Gets a Seq object by accession numbers
  Returns : a Bio::Seq object
  Args    : the accession number as a string
  Note    : For GenBank, this just calls the same code for get_Seq_by_id().
            Caveat: this normally works, but in rare cases simply passing the
            accession can lead to odd results, possibly due to unsynchronized
            NCBI ID servers. Using get_Seq_by_version() is slightly better, but
            using the unique identifier (GI) and get_Seq_by_id is the most
            consistent
  Throws  : "id does not exist" exception

=head2 get_Seq_by_gi

 Title   : get_Seq_by_gi
 Usage   : $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_gi('405830');
 Function: Gets a Bio::Seq object by gi number
