downloading a set of sequences from Genbank using the species names

Question

[ieie]

Hello all,

i am trying to get a set of sequences only having the species names to use. I would like to knoe if this can be done automatically with R or Python or in another way. I have tried phylotaR, biomartr and reentrez but I could not. is it an efficient way to do it?

Thanks a lot for your help

You can use EntrezDirect. That would be pretty efficient.

Which sequences? - cDNA or protein?; or genome sequence?
