Human Genbank Ids

Question

[Zev.Kronenberg]

I am working on a sequencing run that contains contamination. I did a de novo assembly and blasted the results against NR and filtered for the best hits. I now have a list of Genbank Ids. I simply want to know which IDs are human so I pull those contigs for further analyses.

Thanks

Hello, Downloading a list of genbank ids (limits - human) from ucsc (table browser) and using fgrep to your list helps?

Use e-utilities to pull the records and get the taxonomic ids. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK25500/

taxid 9606 == human

bingo. I knew there was a "right/easy" way.
