  • Downloading metagenomes from ncbi from terminal

    I am attempting to access metagenomes referenced in a paper (Thurber et al. 2009) which are housed on NCBI. I have the project numbers and genome project ID's. I found the genbank record of one of the genomes I want (wanting to download one first to run a test analysis, to see if my idea will even work). I can click on the WGS ID link and that takes me to a page where I can click on a "downloads" tab and it has three file formats listed. I download the FASTA file and get this:

    etc.

    Now either I'm showing my complete ignorance or this is not in fact anything usable. Why is it giving me complete gibberish?

    Ideally I would like to do this all through the terminal, and I tried it there as well using wget with the same results.

    This if my first time trying to access sequence data from NCBI, I must be missing something. Any help would be much appreciated, especially tips on doing this cleanly and sexily through CLI.

    Thanks!

    Can you post a representative GenBank ID? I can't access the paper at the moment to lookup the GenBank record #'s.

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
