Hello Biopythoneers,

Does anyone on the list use or has used the NCBI TinySeq XML format?
Could you give this new parser for Bio.SeqIO a little test please?

https://github.com/biopython/biopython/pull/2275

This is quite a lightweight XML file, the main benefit over FASTA
format is it has an explicit field for the organism name (which is why
I wanted to use this when downloading sequences from the NCBI).

Thanks,

Peter
