  If I look at this record in GenBank I see about 6k genes:
  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/CM000760?report=gbwithparts
  I'd really like to be able to dump those genes in GFF3 format, but I'm guessing I can't do that in a single step, so...
  
  How to dump all genes from a GenBank record in 'whatever' format?
  How to convert 'whatever' format to GFF3?
  
  
  user96: When accessing all of the annotated genes for a reference genome, downloading a GFF3 file directly from the Genbank or RefSeq FTP sites is definitely the way to go.
  But when submitting a search query into NCBI Entrez, there is no easy way to download the results in GFF3 format. Probably the best route is to download the results in ASN.1 format, and then use annotwriter from the NCBI C++ toolkit to convert to GFF3. But getting the latter to compile and run properly isn't trivial in my experience.
  
  user931: Turns out you can just grab the GFF3 from the NCBI's FTP site!
