Hi,
Excuse my profound ignorance, but all this discussion about Genbank
parsers and feature tables etc. has finally aroused my curiosity to
the point where I simply must risk being flamed. Can someone please
explain to me (first-grade level please!) what a feature table is,
what a parser does with it and what one can use that for?
If this is too elementary for general consumption, email to my
kindergarten please at micprf@lure.latrobe.edu.au. Thanks,
				Paul Fisher.
