NCBI-ACC-DOWNLOAD(1)

💖 NCBI-ACC-DOWNLOAD 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for ncbi-acc-download, section 1 of the user commands — it's giving "download genome files from NCBI by accession" and honestly? iconic. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ncbi-acc-download — download genome files from NCBI by accession. no cap, that's the whole job description 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ncbi-acc-download [-h] [-m {nucleotide,protein}] [-e {none,loads,all}]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically it's a script that downloads sequences from GenBank/RefSeq by accession, and it does it through the NCBI ENTREZ API. that's it, that's the vibe 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

[-F {fasta,genbank,featuretable,gff3}] [-o OUT] [-p PREFIX] [-r] [--url]
[-v] NCBI-accession [NCBI-accession ...]

💜 positional arguments:

• NCBI-accession — the accession you want, obvi. drop it in and go 🍓

🌈 optional arguments:

• -h, --help — shows this help message and dips. classic.
• -m {nucleotide,protein}, --molecule {nucleotide,protein} — which molecule type you're downloading. Default: nucleotide
• -e {none,loads,all}, --extended-validation {none,loads,all} — does extended validation, the overachiever of options ✨ your choices are 'none' to skip validation entirely, 'loads' to check if the sequence file actually loads in Biopython, or 'all' to run all the checks. Default: none
• -F {fasta,genbank,featuretable,gff3}, --format {fasta,genbank,featuretable,gff3} — the file format your nucleotide sequences get downloaded in. Default: genbank
• -o OUT, --out OUT — a single filename to use for the combined output. one file to rule them all 👑
• -p PREFIX, --prefix PREFIX — filename prefix for your output files, instead of using the NCBI ID. name it whatever you want bestie 💖
• -r, --recursive — recursively grabs all entries of a WGS entry. going deep, main character energy 🌈
• --url — instead of actually downloading the sequences, it just prints the URLs to stdout. window shopping fr fr 🛍️
• -v, --verbose — prints a progress indicator, so you're not just sitting there wondering if it's alive 😭
