Well, I am in way to extract allmost all the features
from a genbank file. 

I could get hold of all the major features such as
CDS, gene, etc .. Now for example, here is a part of
genbank file 

CDS            
join(59036..59120,63774..63916,66764..66865,66937..67082,
                    
67762..67852,69287..69394,70777..70869,72858..73025,
                    
73140..73269,75357..75422,75890..76092,77552..77636,
                     79133..>79194)
                     /gene="CSE1L"
                     /note="match: proteins: Tr:Q9XZU1
Sw:P55060 Tr:O75432
                     Sw:P33307 Tr:Q9ZPY7 Tr:O13671"
                     /codon_start=1
                     /evidence=not_experimental
                     /product="dJ155G6.2 (chromosome
segregation 1 (yeast
                     homolog)-like)"
                     /protein_id="CAB86644.1"
                     /db_xref="GI:7529580"


I can extract CDS, its location, its type but I want
the property listed under that with /gene="CSE1L"
which my prof says that its the name of the cds; also
they are other properties like /codon_start /evidence
etc. 
I dont know if we call it properties or subfeatures, I
thought of calling then SubTags, now how to extract
those from a genbank file.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Suman K
