Seq retrieval tool Announce

[David Bauer]

Hi,

this is a nice remote entrez client.
But why don't you use the url method to retrieve entries from ncbi and
embl?

In emboss.default I have:
#####################################
DB gb [ type: N method: url format: gb
  url:
"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?db=s&form=6&dopt=g&html=no&uid=%s"
  comment: "GenBank via Entrez WWW Server" ]
DB embldb [ type: N method: url format: embl
  url: "http://www.ebi.ac.uk/htbin/emblfetch?%s"
  comment: "EMBL via EBI WWW Server" ]
##############################################

Then I can use "entret gb:U13858" to get the full entry or just "seqret
gb:U13858" to get just the fasta formated sequence without header
information.
Same with embldb:U13858.

Ciao, 
David.
