    Sequence from Genbank file

    Hi,
    I used to usethis code to download sequence from genabnk ,now bioperl complains about sequence is empty, do yiu know if gen bank structure has been changed?
    use Bio::SeqIO;
    use Bio::Seq;
    use Bio:B::EUtilities;


    @refSeqIDs=qw(NC_000915.1 NC_017379.1 NC_017371.1 NC_017354.1);
    foreach my $refSeqIDs (@refSeqIDs){
    my $factory = Bio:B::EUtilities->new(-eutil => 'efetch',-db=> 'protein',- rettype => 'gb',
    -email => '[email protected]',-id=> $refSeqIDs);
    my $rawfile = "$refSeqIDs.gbk";
    $factory->get_Response(-file =>"$refSeqIDs.gbk");
    my $seqio_object = Bio::SeqIO->new(-format=>"Genbank",-file =>"$refSeqIDs.gbk");
    while ( my $seq_object=$seqio_object->next_seq){
    $sequence=$seq_object->seq;
    print ("$sequence\n");
    }
    }

    Code:
    use Bio::SeqIO;
    use Bio::Seq;
    use Bio::DB::EUtilities;
    
    
        @refSeqIDs=qw(NC_000915.1 NC_017379.1 NC_017371.1 NC_017354.1);
        foreach my $refSeqIDs (@refSeqIDs){
            my $factory = Bio::DB::EUtilities->new(-eutil   => 'efetch',-db=> 'protein',-  rettype => 'gb',
                                               -email   => '[email protected]',-id=> $refSeqIDs);
            my $rawfile = "$refSeqIDs.gbk";
            $factory->get_Response(-file =>"$refSeqIDs.gbk");
            my $seqio_object = Bio::SeqIO->new(-format=>"Genbank",-file =>"$refSeqIDs.gbk");
            while ( my $seq_object=$seqio_object->next_seq){
                $sequence=$seq_object->seq;
                print ("$sequence\n");
            }
        }
    The RefSeq accessions you are supplying are for chromosomes (i.e. nucleotide sequences) but you are querying the protein database. Change:

    Code:
    -db => 'protein'
    
    to 
    
    -db => 'nuccore'
    The 'gb' return type (rettype) will only return the header and feature portions of the genbank file, not the full record with sequences. Change:

    Code:
    -rettype => 'gb'
    
    to
    
    -rettype => 'gbwithparts'

        Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
        by SEQadmin2



        Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

        Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

        New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
        by SEQadmin2


        Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

        We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
