Downloading gene sequences for a list of genes using E-utilities

Hi,

Could you please help how I can download nucleotide fasta sequences for a list of the gene using E-utilities or any other way? I have tried batch entrez but it is very slow and taking lots of time.

Have you tried biomart at ensembl plants? I was able to download gene sequences of the ids you provided by choosing Oryza sativa indica group as the plant. Biomart can also be accessed in R if you want to put this inside a script.

What kind of ID's are these? They bring up no hits at all at NCBI.

Note: It looks like these are some kind of Rice sequence ID's but since they are non standard you will need to either translate them to something in NCBI OR get the fasta sequence from this LINK (which a google search brought up at floresta.eead.csic.es).

Most probably these are ids from Oryza sativa indica which is a different sub-species than the one we see more often (japonica). It was sequenced by BGI, China and the assembly is available at ensembl plants which can be accessed using biomart. However, BGI has sequenced many other plants and we will have to wait for the OP to update on the organism name.

Yes , these are Oryza sativa indica gene sequences Id, I think biomart will be ideal to get the gene sequences.

Many thanks
