Oh, and a related question: Can I adjust the GenPept file in question
(emailed to Peter Rice off list) to get rid of the warning from
EMBOSS 6.0.1 about the bad LOCUS line? If there is something
wrong with the GenBank/GenPept LOCUS lines Biopython writes,
I'd like to fix it before our next release.
