\fBfastacmd\fP retrieves FASTA formatted sequences from a
24
\fBblast\fP(1) database formatted using the '\fB\-o\fP' option. An
25
example \fBfastacmd\fP call would be
28
fastacmd -d nr -s p38398
30
A summary of options is included below.
36
Dump the entire database in FASTA format
39
Print database information only (overrides all other options)
41
\fB\-L\fP\ \fIstart\fP,\fIstop\fP
42
Range of sequence to extract (0 in start is beginning of sequence, 0
43
in stop is end of sequence, default is whole sequence)
46
Retrieve sequences with Protein Identification Group (PIG) \fIN\fP.
49
Strand on subsequence (nucleotide only):
60
Print taxonomic information for requested sequence(s)
63
Retrieve duplicate accessions
66
Use ^A (\e001) as non-redundant defline separator
69
Database (default is nr)
72
Input file wilth GIs/accessions/loci for batch retrieval
75
Line length for sequence (default = 80)
77
\fB\-o\fP\ \fIfilename\fP
78
Output file (default = stdout)
85
guess (default) - look for protein, then nucleotide
94
Search string: GIs, accessions and loci may be used delimited by commas
97
Definition line should contain target GI only
102
Completed successfully.
104
An error (other than those below) occurred.
106
The BLAST database was not found.
108
A search (accession, GI, or taxonomy info) failed.
110
No taxonomy database was found.
