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 10.1).
Figure 10.4: 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 query. (It does not save the search results.)
This can be useful when you run the same searches periodically.
