    how can I use the blastdbcmd command line if I don't want to download the (heavy) nt databases on my own computer ? Or am I forced to download the nt locally before running the command line ?

    Thank you in advance for your understanding (certainly a newbies question...)
    If you don't want to download the blast database locally take look at the NCBI e-utils option (referred to in one of the posts above). You will need to do some additional work to create the right query URL's.

    You can put a list of your GI numbers in a file like so (one per line):

    Code:
    $ more gi_list.txt 
    4
    7
    78
    324
    
    $ blastdbcmd -entry_batch gi_list.txt -db /path_to/nt -outfmt "%f" -out seq_fasta_filename.fa
    Hi !

    I'm beginner in bioinformatics (and new on the forum) and I have the same problem as fefe89. Your answer (here above) seems totally appropriate for my problem but I have a very naive question (seems simple but I don't find an adequate answer on google) : how can I use the blastdbcmd command line if I don't want to download the (heavy) nt databases on my own computer ? Or am I forced to download the nt locally before running the command line ?

    Thank you in advance for your understanding (certainly a newbies question...)

    The recommended way to do this is with Eutils. Eutils is a Web-service offert by the NCBI.

    There already exist several threads about using Eutils as well in this forum as in Biostars.

    It is ok to cross-post but please close your post out on all forums (cross-referencing the solution, once you find one that you like).
    OK. The other post has been already closed.

    Thank you very much.

    It is exactly what I was looking for!!!

    started a topic How to get FASTA sequences from GI number

    How to get FASTA sequences from GI number

    Hey guys I need help

    I need to download a large amount of FASTA sequences from a set of GI number.

    Is there any script to do this??

    I know I could do it with http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/batchentrez , but I have too many sequences (and It says to split if they are too many) and I really don't want to do it via browser


    Thank you

    Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
    by seqadmin



    The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

    Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
    by seqadmin



    Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
