Hi all,
Here is my gist to get the genbank ids for all the nucleotide entries linked to a taxon id. The number of requests is minimized using the retmax and retstart parameters provided by the Entrez Utilities.
Best,
Fabrice
Nice to see, after our Twitter conversation.
Nice and self contained - I wonder how short it would be using Biopython's
Bio.Entrez
rather than using urllib and ElementTree directly?as @Peter said why did not you use BioPython is there is an important reason for that
