Download FASTA file from NCBI with Source and organism names

Question

[riaasuddin]

Hello, I want to download complete HCV E1 protein sequences from NCBI as fasta format. I need to have the source and organism/isolate information also included in the FASTA file as header. How can we get it downloaded with source and organism/isolate information? Please advise.

Thanks

There are thousands of HCV E1 sequences in GenBank so at a minimum you are going to have to do some post processing to select sequences of full length.
From this page you can select: Send To (Dropdown, top right) choose File --> Under "Format" --> "fasta" --> Click create file.
That should allow you to save a FASTA format file of all sequences locally.

Hello,

you could simply download your sequences in GenBank format and then format them locally to FASTA, with the header information you like.
