In Unix one can gussy up the get_gbnew script by putting in indeces and
making a big loop out of it to get all 16 Genbank divisions.
Stuff like
set nn=(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16)
set ftpfiles=(gbbct.seq.Z gbinv.seq.Z gbmam.seq.Z gbpat.seq.Z \
gbphg.seq.Z gbpln.seq.Z gbpri.seq.Z gbrna.seq.Z gbrod.seq.Z gbsts.seq.Z \
gbsyn.seq.Z gbuna.seq.Z gbvrl.seq.Z gbvrt.seq.Z gbest1.seq.Z gbest2.seq.Z)
#
set uncompfiles=(gbbac_seq gbinv_seq gbom_seq gbpat_seq gbphg_seq \
gbpln_seq gbpri_seq gbstr_seq gbrod_seq gbsts_seq gbsyn_seq gbuna_seq \
gbvi_seq gbov_seq gbest1_seq gbest2_seq)
#
set gcgnames=(gb_ba gb_in gb_om gb_pat gb_ph gb_pl gb_pr gb_st gb_ro \
et c.
with the following inserted at the appropriat spot:
# Loop here
#
foreach i ($nn)
set ftpfile="$ftpfiles[$i]" # remotZe fil[$
set outfile="${uncompfiles[$i]}.Z" # local file after transfer
set uncompressedfile="$uncompfiles[$i]" # local file after decompression
set gcgname="$gcgnames[$i]" # name of .seq file of data library
set sn="$snames[$i]"
Ask via E-mail direct to me and I will send this script to you.
A similar one does genpept.
I also have a "system" for downloading data bases written for VMS.
I consists of a file of database names and two command files; one submits
the other with appropriate parameters. This is also available on request.
