[Biopython] Fetching fasta sequences by accession number

[Iddo Friedberg]

There is an example here for downloading multiple GenBank entries:
http://biopython.org/DIST/docs/tutorial/Tutorial.html#htoc131

Depending on the actual database you are downloading from, you can use
rettype="fasta" or convert a genbank file to fasta as in here:
http://biopython.org/wiki/Converting_sequence_files

The possible rettype and retmode  are  dependent on the database you are
fetching from, and determined of the efetch API . More about that here:

HTH,

Iddo
