[Bioperl-l] Refseq Version

[shalu sharma]

Hi Russell,
               Thanks for your response.
I am getting the number of sequence in the database but not the release
number (like 38, 39).
This is what i did:

$ fastacmd -I -d /db/ncbiblast/refseq/refseq_protein
Database: NCBI Protein Reference Sequences
           7,585,993 sequences; 2,644,770,521 total letters

File names:
/db/ncbiblast/refseq/refseq_protein.00
   Date: Jan 30, 2010  8:34 PM    Version: 4    Longest sequence: 36,805 res
/db/ncbiblast/refseq/refseq_protein.01
   Date: Jan 30, 2010  8:34 PM    Version: 4    Longest sequence: 33,403 res
/db/ncbiblast/refseq/refseq_protein.02
   Date: Jan 30, 2010  8:34 PM    Version: 4    Longest sequence: 15,830 res

I am still confuse that how i can get the release number. I know refseq 39
was released on Jan 30, 2010 but i don't know how to confirm this. I also
tried look refseq release file but was not able to get any thing.

I would really appreciate if anyone can help me out with this.

Thanks
Shalu
