Dear support,
While experimenting with remote databank access I noticed the following :
DB GENBANK [ type: N format: genbank method: url
comment: 'GenBank at Institut Pasteur (Paris, France)'
url: "http://srs.pasteur.fr/cgi-bin/srs6/wgetz?-e+[genbank-acc:%s]"
]
does work fine. However, with :
DB GENBANK [ type: N format: genbank method: url
comment: 'GenBank at DKFZ (Heidelberg, Germany)'
url:"http://genius.embnet.dkfz-heidelberg.de/menu/cgi-bin/srs/wgetz?-e+[genbank-
acc:%s]"
]
seqret genbank:X15320 retrieves a file :
>ECARGS X15320 Escherichia coli argS gene for arginyl-tRNA-synthetase (EC
6.1.1.19
The problem is probably that at the DKFZ they index the databank in GCG format.
However, replacing "format: genbank" by "format: gcg" does not work.
