Examples

• Fetch information for SNP with id 3000, as in the example at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/SNP/SNPeutils.htm:

for line in equery(tool='fetch', db='snp', id='3000'):
    print(line)

• Get a summary of nucleotides related to accession numbers NC_010611.1 and EU477409.1:

for line in on_search(db='nucleotide',
                      term='NC_010611.1[accn] OR EU477409.1[accn]',
                      tool='summary'):
    print(line)

• Download all chimpanzee mRNA sequences in FASTA format (our version of the sample application 3):

with open('chimp.fna', 'w') as fout:
    for line in on_search(db='nucleotide',
                          term='chimpanzee[orgn] AND biomol mrna[prop]',
                          tool='fetch', rettype='fasta'):
        fout.write(line + '\n')
