           Summary: Please support additional fields in the SeqIO embl
                    parser
           Product: Biopython
           Version: 1.53
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Main Distribution
        AssignedTo: biopython-dev at biopython.org
        ReportedBy: Wim.DeSmet at UGent.be


Sequences returned from the Bio.SeqIO parser for 'embl' files don't contain a
parsed version of at least the following fields:
DT (date)
DR (database cross references)

Possibly also missing:
KW the keywords field
dataclass field in the ID field

It would be useful to me and I imagine others to have access to these
additional fields that are in the original embl files. Not having them means
that if you parse embl files, manipulate the sequence and write out the result
means losing data or having to manually add the original data back into the
file. If you wish to hold on to this data.
