NAME
gbseqget - format sequences from GenBank as an XML GBSet SYNOPSIS
gbseqget [-] [-d filename] [-i filename] [-m n/p/b] [-n] [-o filename] [-v] DESCRIPTION
gbseqget retrieves biological sequence data from GenBank (according to an input list of GI accession numbers) and prints it out as an XML GBSet document. OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below. - Print usage message -d filename Input file name for date list (desired accessions, one per line, followed by a blank line and a list of allowed dates, also one per line) -i filename Input file name for GI list (default = stdin) -m n/p/b Molecule type: n Nucleotide (default) p Protein b Both -n Return only new records (for which the given GI refers to an old version) -o filename Output file name for the XML GBSet (default = stdout) -v Fetch SNP Variations NOTES
