Description
This parser returns Bio::Phenotype::OMIM::OMIMentry objects
(which inherit from Bio::Phenotype::PhenotypeI).
It parses the OMIM database available as
ftp://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/repository/OMIM/omim.txt.Z
together with (optionally) the gene map file at
ftp://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/repository/OMIM/genemap.
