Downloading a few sequences For this, you can use Entrez Direct as mentioned by dc BlueSky BlueSky 2 2 bronze badges. Whether you want a large number of files or just one file is, I guess, a personal choice. A multifasta file is fairly standard though. I don't think you can create individual files for each sequence using epost and efetch ; you will have to either use a bash script or postprocess the efetch output using the unix tool split.

This will use links to point to the appropriate files in the NCBI directory structure,so it saves file space. Note that links are not supported on some Windows file systems and someolder versions of Windows.
It is also possible to re-run a previous download with the --human-readable option. In this case, ncbi-genome-download will not download any new genome files, and just createhuman-readable directory structure. Note that if any files have been changed on the NCBI side,a file download will be triggered. If you want to filter for the 'relation to type material' column of theassembly summary file, you can use the --type-material option.
Multiple values can be given, separated by comma:. By default, ncbi-genome-download caches the assembly summary files for the respective taxonomicgroups for one day. You can skip using the cache file by using the --no-cache option.
The output of --help also shows the cache directory, should you want to remove any of the cachedfiles. You can also use it as a method call. Note : To specify a taxonomic group, like bacteria , use the group keyword. This script lets you find out what TaxIDs to pass to ngd , and will write a simple one-item-per-linefile to pass in to it. It utilises the ete3 toolkit, so refer to their site to install the dependencyif it's not already satisfied.
You can query the database using a particular TaxID, or a scientific name. The primary function of thescript is to return all the child taxa of the specified parent taxa. The script has various optionsfor what information is written in the output. On first use, a small sqlite database will be created in your home directoryby default change the location with the --database flag. You can update this databaseby using the --update flag.
Note that if the database is not in your home directory,you must specify it with --database or a new database will be created in your homedirectory. Fasta Sequence Example Ncbi Previous post. How to download gene sequence from NCBI? This post will show you how to create a FASTA file for submitting single- and multiple-nucleotide sequences. So this is a set of scripts that focuses on the actual genome downloading. Usage To download all bacterial RefSeq genomes in GenBank format from NCBI, run the following: Downloading multiple groups is also possible: If you're on a reasonably fast connection, you might want to try running multiple downloads in parallel: To download all fungal GenBank genomes from NCBI in GenBank format, run: To download all viral RefSeq genomes in FASTA format, run: It is possible to download multiple formats by supplying a list of formats or simply download all formats: Ncbi To download only completed bacterial RefSeq genomes in GenBank format, run: It is possible to download multiple assembly levels at once by supplying a list: To download only bacterial reference genomes from RefSeq in GenBank format, run: To download bacterial RefSeq genomes of the genus Streptomyces , run: Note : This is a simple string match on the organism name provided by NCBI only.
You can also use this with a slight trick to download genomes of a certain species as well: Note : The quotes are important.
