[Bioperl-l] Collecting genomic DNA sequences using Entrez IDs

[Barry Moore]

Paul,

One other alternative is to use the UCSC table browser (http:// 
genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables?command=start).  Select your  
organism, upload your ID list.  Select you output options.  You can  
download the coordinates or the fasta directly.  You have options for  
including or excluding various parts of the gene, and upstream/ 
downstream sequences.  This is similar the solution that Malcom  
suggested except the Ensembl option can be run repeatedly as perl  
code as he pointed out.  UCSC allows you to do remote connections to  
their MySQL server so you could set up a repeated task and more  
complex queries that way with the UCSC method.
