[Bioperl-l] All mouse mRNAs

[Hilmar Lapp]

Do you want all mouse mRNA sequences that were ever submitted to 
GenBank, or do you want mRNAs for all mouse genes?

In the latter case, RefSeq nicely partitions the release by species 
(see the species-specific cumulative updates).

Genbank is partitioned too, so you don't have to parse everything.

At any rate, NCBI will not be thrilled by people downloading 100s of 
thousands of sequences through their query interfaces ...
