For sure. It is called eVoc and I think it is going to merrily come into
the main Ensembl set as well. SANBI guys - Janet Kelso (???) are the
people. I've cc'd win hide so he can give us the full story... over to

Of course it is simple to parse it out yourself, but it is a convenience to me to have a method parse it out, so I am going to write one.  Just wasn't sure if it is useful to others.  It looks like it is standard practice to put organ information in the note, or is it much more obvious to get it somewhere else, maybe it is, I haven't really looked past the genbank entries.
