    Get Protein Sequences fasta file by using Entrez Gene Ids

    I want to get a protein sequences FASTA file for a given list of Entrez Gene IDs, which is shown as blow:

    Code:
    kurban@kurban-X550VC:~/Desktop$ more Triboliumcastaneum_tf_id.txt
    100141790
    100142111
    100142176
    100142203
    100142308
    654967
    655070
    655772
    655998
    how could i extract their corresponding protein sequences fasta file for these Tribolium castaneum gene id from ncbi? thanks.

    Here's a hint:

    Use the efetch utilty :
    example for mrna:
    wget "http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=nuccore&id=100141790,100142111,100142176,100142203,100142308,654967,655070,655772,655998&rettype=fasta&retmode=text" -O out

    Getting the protein is the hard part.

    Full solution
    echo -e "100141790\n100142111\n100142176\n100142203\n100142308\n654967\n655070\n655772\n655998" | while read G; do curl -s "http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=gene&db=protein&id=${G}" | grep -A 1 "<Link>" | grep "<Id>" | cut -d '>' -f 2 | cut -d '<' -f 1 | while read S ; do curl -s "http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=protein&id=${S}&retmode=text&rettype=fasta" ; done; done

    Note there are multiple isoforms

      thanks @Richard,
      the commend really works like a charm, but the total sequences i wanna extract are 519, so how could i change my file formation
      Code:
      100141790
      100142111
      100142176
      100142203
      100142308
      654967
      655070
      655772
      655998
      to this form: "100141790\n100142111\n100142176\n100142203\n100142308\n654967\n655070\n655772\n655998"?

      sorry , i am now at this.

        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
