Hi all and happy 2010 for those that follow the Gregorian calendar, A question that is a bit in between bioperl and NCBI. I would like to use bioperl to download sequences fom dbEST. For that, my idea is to use Bio::DB::Genbank and get the sequences by gi id. Now, I want my script to download sequences for a given NCBI taxonomy clade. For example, if I want to download all fish (clupeocephala) sequences in dbEST, I can browse it around with the dbEST webpage using "clupeocephala[taxonomy]", so I am thinking there should be a way to do it programmatically. How can I query NCBI dbEST through bioperl to give me the list of GI ids I am looking for given a taxon id? Thanks in advance, Albert.
