[Biopython] Assembly db

[Mark Nadel]

I’m trying to interrogate the Assembly db using BioPython, in particular Entrez.eqquerry.

Here is a short sample:

from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = “mark.e.nadel at gmail.com <mailto:mark.e.nadel at gmail.com>"     
handle = Entrez.egquery(term="human")
record = Entrez.read(handle)
for row in record["eGQueryResult"]:
   print(row["DbName"], row["Count"])


Here is what it returned:

pubmed 16538765
pmc 2632118
mesh 15606
books 121016
pubmedhealth 15915
omim 16423
ncbisearch 2108
nuccore 24393071
nucgss 2822763
nucest 10464214
protein 15851328

gds 1196509
homologene 18907
pccompound 1356
pcsubstance 68984
pcassay 384781
nlmcatalog 104253
probe 27886166
gap 53517
proteinclusters 20
bioproject 42794
biosample 2631235

Note that there is no entry for the Assembly db. I have noticed using other queries that a value of 0 is possible for a db.

Can anyone help me with this issue?

Thanks,

Mark
