[Bioperl-l] Downloading refseq genomes in batch

[shalabh sharma]

Hi Chris,
             I am using the method you suggested.
But i have a question. The UIDs that i am searching using "esearch" are not
same as the number of proteins in that genome.

For Example:
for  'Homo sapiens" if i use esearch i get "3277310" UIDs but if i go to
NCBI genome page i see there are only =~ 32,00 proteins.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome?term=Homo%20sapiens

Thanks
Shalabh
