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
-

- 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)
