The script stores pubmed entries in the database. Existing ones are ignored. Input file should contain a list of pubmed ids. Then a new Publication object (Bio::Chado::Schema::Pub::Pub) with accession= PMID, the publication specs are fetched from Entrez (using eUtils) which sets the different fields in the Publication object. When the publication is stored, a new dbxref is stored first (see Chado General module)

This script works with Chado schema and accesse the following tables:

pub

pubauthor

pubprop

dbxref

pub_dbxref
