Remove/deprecate BOLD and GenBank functions? #1

Closed boopsboops closed 6 years ago

boopsboops commented 6 years ago

This functionality has been better implemented in other packages, e.g. read.genbank in ape, ncbi_byid in traits, as well as the rentrez and bold packages.

Therefore, I suggest we deprecate these functions, as they are pain to maintain as APIs change, and I don't think many people are using them anyway.

We'll need to update the tutorial, but we are going to need to do that anyway.

Any thoughts?

I did it anyway :)
