Eosin V: The Registry
The edge cases arise from -omics data. We will be using BRCA2 DNA repair associated Homo sapiens (human) gene in these examples, which NCBI assigned an ID of 675.
The metadata returned by NCBI includes references to genomic sequences with start/end indices. Resolving this via nuccore gives us the FASTA that we want for our analysis workflows. We can't be opinionated about canonical sequences (they might not exist) so we'll use the :tag to control this aspect. Let's consider some examples.
To download payloads (FASTA) for all available genomic sequences:
