NAME
idfetch - retrieve biological data from the NCBI ID1 server
SYNOPSIS
idfetch [-] [-F str] [-G filename] [-Q filename] [-c N] [-d str] [-e N] [-f str] [-g N] [-i N] [-l filename] [-n] [-o filename] [-q str] [-s str] [-t N]
DESCRIPTION
idfetch is a client for NCBI's ID1 server, which contains a large database of annotated biological sequences.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below.
- -
 - Print usage message
 - -F str
 - Add the specified feature types (comma-delimited); allowed values are CDD, SNP, SNP_graph, MGC, HPRD, and STS.
 - -G filename
 - File with list of GIs, (versioned) accessions, FASTA SeqID's to dump
 - -Q filename
 - Generate GI list by Entrez query in filename; requires -dn or -dp.
 - -c N
 - Max complexity:
 - 0
 - get the whole blob (default)
 - 1
 - get the bioseq of interest
 - 2
 - get the minimal bioseq-set containing the bioseq of interest
 - 3
 - get the minimal nuc-prot containing the bioseq of interest
 - 4
 - get the minimal pub-set containing the bioseq of interest
 - -d str
 - Database to use (with -q, can be either n for nucleotides or p for proteins).
 - -e N
 - Entity number (retrieval number) to dump
 - -f str
 - Flattened SeqId.  Possible formats:
type([name][,[accession][,[release][,version]]]) as '5(HUMHBB)'
type=accession
type:number
(type is a number indicating the ASN.1 Seq-id subtype.) - -g N
 - GI id for single Entity to dump
 - -i N
 - Type of lookup:
 - 0
 - get Seq-entry (default)
 - 1
 - get GI state (output to stderr)
 - 2
 - get SeqIds
 - 3
 - get GI history (sequence change only)
 - 4
 - get revision history (any change to ASN.1)
 - -l filename
 - Log file
 - -n
 - Output only the list of GIs (with -q and -Q).
 - -o filename
 - Filename for output (default = stdout)
 - -q str
 - Generate gi list by Entrez query. Requires -dn or -dp.
 - -s str

lcl|int or str
bbs|int
bbm|int
gb|acc|loc
emb|acc|loc
pir|acc|name
sp|acc|name
pat|country|patent|seq
