I should point out that there is a 'human-readable" version of ASN.1
(as well as a binary version), as you can see here:

GBFF:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?uid=294219&form=6&db=n&Dopt=g

and text-ASN.1 for the same file (accession: L12345):

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?uid=294219&form=6&db=n&Dopt=a

The only difference is that the Dopt (display option) which is g
(genbank) or a (ASN.1).
