Batch Retrieval of Coding Sequences

Question

[fire_water]

Hello, I have a long list of human gene names (for example CFTR, ABCA1) and I want to retrieve the coding sequences for each gene. Does anyone know of a way to upload this list and retrieve the sequences in FASTA format?

You can get it out from Biomart. I think you want to get cDNA for gene, if you want to have isoforms sequences you can download gtf file from table browser export the knownGene as a GTF

grep -w 'CDS' in.gtf > out.gtf

Just get fasta sequence from gtf using bedops

Thank you! How can I exclude isoforms?

[Manvendra Singh]

if you want to have one sequence per gene then you would need to have one isoform,

I would take the sequence from longest isoform .
