Hi to all !

Someone knows how I can get the scientific name (or all the features) from a data in the GenBank using only the GenBank code accession and biopython. For example:

>>> From Bio import Entrez

>>> Entrez.email = someuser@mail.com

>>> Input = Entrez.someFunction(db="nucleotide", term="AY851612")

>>> output = Entrez.read(Input)

>>> print output

"Austrocylindropuntia subulata"

#Or well

>>> print output
