Hi,
I'm using reutils to programmatically query NCBI's Gene database. Sometimes, I get multiple matches for a search (duh) and this list of results includes entries that have been discontinued or replaced (as shown in the Status
filter on the Web UI below)
My question is:
How can I add a filter to my esearch
call (or to the search term), so the search is restricted to only live
/Current
items? I can filter once I get the results when I make an esummary
call, but can I do it at the esearch
level?
My query term is UNQ6494[Gene Name] AND Homo sapiens[ORGN]
, and the r command is esearch(term="UNQ6494[Gene Name] AND Homo sapiens[ORGN]", db="gene")
Thank you!
Wonderful! I was trying
live[Status]
butalive[Prop]
it was! Thank you!
