[Bioperl-l] GenBank entries creation dates

[Cui, Wenwu (NIH/NLM/NCBI) [C]]

Hi, Miguel,

I do not know whether the data file is publically available. However,
you can perform 'real time' query via id1_fetch:

####step 1: generate GI file #####
id1_fetch -query 'YOUR-GENBANK-QUERY-STRING' -lt none -db Nucleotide
-out qfile

####step 2: retrieve revisions for GIs stored in qfile #####

id1_fetch -lt revisions -qf qfile  -fmt fasta -db Nucleotide

Good luck!

Wenwu Cui
