[Bioperl-l] organ from est entry

[Wiepert, Mathieu]

Hi,

Is it possible to get the organ that a tissue is from, given a genbank entry for an EST?  I should say, the answer is yes if I parse the note tag of the primary tag.  But I thought there would be a more obvious way to categorize est.'s by organ, perhaps not?

Is anyone interested in having the organ parsed, so if you have an est sequence, you can ask for the organ?  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.
