IDFETCH

NAME

idfetch − retrieve biological data from the NCBI ID1 server

SYNOPSIS

idfetch [] [−F str] [−G filename] [−Q filename] [−c N] [−d str] [−e N] [−f str] [−g N] [−i N] [−l filename] [−n] [−o filename] [−q str] [−s str] [−t N]

DESCRIPTION

idfetch is a client for NCBI’s ID1 server, which contains a large database of annotated biological sequences.

OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below.

Print usage message

−F str

Add the specified feature types (comma-delimited); allowed values are CDD, SNP, SNP_graph, MGC, HPRD, STS, tRNA, and microRNA.

−G filename

File with list of GIs, (versioned) accessions, FASTA SeqIDs to dump

−Q filename

Generate GI list by Entrez query in filename; requires −dn or −dp.

−c N

Max complexity:

0

get the whole blob (default)

1

get the bioseq of interest

2

get the minimal bioseq-set containing the bioseq of interest

3

get the minimal nuc-prot containing the bioseq of interest

4

get the minimal pub-set containing the bioseq of interest

−d str

Database to use (with −q, can be either n for nucleotides or p for proteins).

−e N

Entity number (retrieval number) to dump

−f str

Flattened SeqId. Possible formats:

type([name][,[accession][,[release][,version]]]) as '5(HUMHBB)'
type
=accession
type
:number
(type is a number indicating the ASN.1 Seq-id subtype.)

−g N

GI id for single Entity to dump

−i N

Type of lookup:

0

get Seq-entry (default)

1

get GI state (output to stderr)

2

get SeqIds

3

get GI history (sequence change only)

4

get revision history (any change to ASN.1)

−l filename

Log file

−n

Output only the list of GIs (with −q and −Q).

−o filename

Filename for output (default = stdout)

−q str

Generate gi list by Entrez query. Requires −dn or −dp.

−s str

FASTA style SeqId ENCLOSED IN QUOTES. Formats:

lcl|int or str
bbs|
int
bbm|
int
gb|
acc|loc
emb|
acc|loc
pir|
acc|name
sp|
acc|name
pat|
country|patent|seq
gi|
int
dbj|
acc|loc
prf|
acc|name
pdb|
entry|chain

−t N

Output type:

1

text ASN.1 (default)

2

binary ASN.1

3

GenBank (Seq-entry only)

4

GenPept (Seq-entry only)

5

FASTA (table for history)

6

quality scores (Seq-entry only)

7

Entrez DocSums

8

FASTA reverse complement
