so literally, refseq-nm-cds downloads NCBI RefSeq mRNA data files for one or more species you ask for — and if you don't ask for anyone specific, it just does human by default, because main character energy 💅 — straight into the current directory.

and then, because one file per species isn't enough slay, it supplements each species' stuff with a file that summarizes its coding regions. two-for-one. iconic. 👑
