Synopsis Species_Entry returns all the entries in DB (which must be assigned a sequence database) which match the given specname. This assumes that the database has a field tagged with .. where the species information is available. This is rather specific of SwissProt. The first time Species_Entry is called, it builds a table of species and it may require some time to compute. Following calls will be much more efficient.
