Matthiew,

Check out the STACK database from SANBI. Win Hide and his merry fellows
have been working on an ontology for (EST related) anatomy. I am not
really up to date on this; I am sure someone else on the list knows
better.

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.
