Search for Sequences at NCBI
Search for Sequences at NCBI supports searching the Entrez nucleotide, peptide and EST databases (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK44864/).
To start this tool, go to:
Download | Search for Sequences at
NCBI (
) or Ctrl + B (
+ B on Mac)
Select the nucleotide, protein or EST database using options at the top of the view (figure 8.1).
Figure 8.1: The GenBank search view.
The search you just set up can be saved by doing one of the following:
- Choose Save As... from under the File menu, or
- Click on the tab of the search view and drag and drop it into a folder in the Navigation Area.
These actions save the search itself, not the search results.
This can be useful when you run the same searches periodically.
Whether or not you save the search, the next time you open the search tool, the settings from the last search you ran will be loaded.
