Retrieve corresponding GRCh37 assembly chromosome refseq and gene name using specified mNRA transcript

Question

[speycast]

Hi,

I'd like to know how to use E-utils to retrieve the corresponding GRCh37 assembly chromosome refseq (NC_) and gene name using NM_(mRNA transcript)?

For example:

Using NM_015665.5 as input transcript to retrieve the gene name AAAS and GRCh37 reference refseq for NC_000012.11 with ChrStart and ChrStop and output to the gb format?

Thanks very much

Each Entrez database includes two primary enhancements to the raw data records: 1) software for producing a variety of display formats appropriate to the given database, and 2) links to records in other Entrez databases manifested as lists of associated UIDs. The display format function is performed by EFetch, which generates formatted output for a list of input UIDs. For example, EFetch can produce abstracts from Entrez PubMed or FASTA format from Entrez Protein.

EFetch does not yet support all Entrez databases; see below for details.
