How hard that would be to implement is another thing, have no idea w/o seeing what the data look like beyond they are in ASN1.

:s I'm not sure I understood your suggestion. I think the problem is
just the introduction of a new concept, a "set" of stuff (genes in
this case), and how should SeqIO handle multiple sets.
