Does RefSeq DB have a CDS file for its transcripts?

Hello,

I am looking for a file which contains all CDS for their NM (coding transcript) identifiers. Ensembl has one which maps each of its ENST's to their CDS, however I have been unable to find the same for Refseq's coding transcripts (NM). If anyone knows of and could point me to such a file, that would be great. It doesn't even have to come from RefSeq databases. Perhaps there are other NCBI db's which have the file I'm looking for?

cds refseq nm coding-sequence

  1. Go to UCSC table browser
  2. Select genes and gene prediction tracks
  3. Select RefSeq genes
  4. select table refGene
  5. region: genome
  6. output format: bed
  7. refGene-CDS.bed
  8. Click on get output
  9. select coding exons

Hmm, I looked into that. However the data file it outputs doesn't give the actual sequences. Are there any adjustments I could make to get the actual sequence?
