Scripts to download genes

[Sofia Silva]

Hello everyone!

I'm new here as well as in bioinformatics area.
I need to download a loooot of genes from a specific website using a script but my coding background is limited.
I would be really glad if some of you could help me with this.

Thank you for your attention,

which is the "specific website" you're talking about? without this information it's pretty hard to provide you with useful hints.

I'm so sorry!
It's the gene ontology site: http://www.geneontology.org/
There, using specific terms (such as "virus receptor activity") it's possible to find all the genes associated with that term.

So, i'll have a list of terms to use (let's say about 20 terms or something) and i'll want to download all the genes associated with them.

Using your example you can see that you are able to custom download the genes (blue button at the top right of the page). Add any additional fields you want.
