SYNOPSIS
$gb = Bio::DB::GenPept->new();
$seq = $gb->get_Seq_by_id('195055'); # Unique ID
# or ...
$seq = $gb->get_Seq_by_acc('DEECTH'); # Accession Number
my $seqio = $gb->get_Stream_by_id(['195055', 'DEECTH']);
while( my $seq = $seqio->next_seq ) {
print "seq is is ", $seq->display_id, "\n";
}
DESCRIPTION
Allows the dynamic retrieval of Sequence objects (Bio::Seq) from the GenPept database at NCBI, via an Entrez query.WARNING: Please do NOT spam the Entrez web server with multiple requests. NCBI offers Batch Entrez for this purpose. Batch Entrez support will likely be supported in a future version of DB::GenPept.
Currently the only return format supported by NCBI Entrez for GenPept database is GenPept format, so any format specification passed to GenPept will be ignored still be forced to GenPept format (which is just GenBank format).
FEEDBACK
Mailing Lists
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.

Support
Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

APPENDIX
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _get_params
Title : get_params Usage : my %params = $self->get_params($mode) Function: Returns key,value pairs to be passed to NCBI database for either 'batch' or 'single' sequence retrieval method Returns : a key,value pair hash Args : 'single' or 'batch' mode for retrieval
default_format
Title : default_format Usage : my $format = $self->default_format Function: Returns default sequence format for this module Returns : string Args : none
Routines from Bio::DB::WebDBSeqI and Bio::DB::RandomAccessI
get_Seq_by_id
Title : get_Seq_by_id Usage : $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_id('ROA1_HUMAN') Function: Gets a Bio::Seq object by its name Returns : a Bio::Seq object Args : the id (as a string) of a sequence Throws : "id does not exist" exception
get_Seq_by_acc
Title : get_Seq_by_acc Usage : $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_acc('AAC73346'); Function: Gets a Seq objects by accession number Returns : Bio::Seq object Args : accession number to retrive by
Routines implemented by Bio::DB::NCBIHelper
get_request
Title : get_request Usage : my $url = $self->get_request Function: HTTP::Request Returns : Args : %qualifiers = a hash of qualifiers (ids, format, etc)
get_Stream_by_id
Title : get_Stream_by_id Usage : $stream = $db->get_Stream_by_id( [$uid1, $uid2] ); Function: Gets a series of Seq objects by unique identifiers Returns : a Bio::SeqIO stream object Args : $ref : a reference to an array of unique identifiers for the desired sequence entries
get_Stream_by_acc (2)
Title : get_Stream_by_acc Usage : $seq = $db->get_Stream_by_acc($acc); Function: Gets a series of Seq objects by accession numbers Returns : a Bio::SeqIO stream object Args : $ref : a reference to an array of accession numbers for the desired sequence entries Note : For GenBank, this just calls the same code for get_Stream_by_id()
request_format
Title : request_format Usage : my $format = $self->request_format; $self->request_format($format); Function: Get/Set sequence format retrieval Returns : string representing format Args : $format = sequence format
