Hi kumar
If I unterstood your question correctly, you have to iterate over the refseq
until
you get the next entry, which starts with a '>'

Here you index the list with an element, but the index must be an integer

Perhaps this is a possible solution:
Iteration of Lseq an then looping over all elements in refseq.
if an element of refseq contains the ele1 the list-entry is printed.
The nested while-loop print's the refseq -elements as long as the element
does not start with a '>'
for ele1 in Lseq:
i=0
while i < len(refseq):
if ele1 in refseq[i]:
print refseq[i]
i +=1
while not refseq[i].startswith('>'):
print refseq[i]
i+=1 # increment until the next entry starting
with '>' is found
i +=1 # if search should continue if another element is present
