[Bioperl-l] Perl script to extract from ncbi

[Cui, Wenwu (NIH/NLM/NCBI) [C]]

This is an example for fetching two GenBank records
(id=124504630,110665734) in XML format. Organism names like
'<GBSeq_organism>Rattus norvegicus</GBSeq_organism>' can be parsed from
the XML.

d=124504630,110665734&retmode=xml&rettype=gb

 

 

Or you can get TaxIds and translate them into real names:

&id=124504630,110665734&retmode=xml

Subject: [Bioperl-l] Perl script to extract from ncbi

 

Hi all, 

   

  I have a question regarding extracting data from Ncbi. I have a
database to store the sequence data, but the files I have loaded into
it, dont have a proper description line specified. Based on the
accession number, I need to find out what is the genus and species name
() from ncbi. 

   

  I have about 1500 records for which I need to extract the names from
ncbi. 

   

  Any ideas of how I can go about writing a perl script for extracting
this information from ncbi?

   

  Thanks!

  George.
