Newbie question:

I want to read in a GFF file and process it taking full advantage of the gene 
model (e.g. exons belong to a transcript).  I see that I can read the GFF into 
an EntrySet, and then annotate a Sequence with the EntrySet, but I don't have a 
sequence to start off with.  I could read in sequence from a FASTA file, but 
since I'm not actually using sequence, and I'm dealing with human chromosomes, 
it seems quite wasteful to do so.  I could also just use the EntrySet, but then 
I can't take advantage of the gene model.  Is there a way to get a Sequence 
object with no sequence, just features from a GFF file?

Thanks,
Michael
