Hi Experts,
I need your help. I need an updated online tool that can convert IDs from 1 database ID to another. I've been using bioDBnet website. However, I'm not sure if this is well maintained and updated. By the way, the DAVID website hasn't been updated since 2010/2011, so I don't recommend it. If there is a tool that can comprehensively list all other ID and info of the gene or protein it will be very helpful for me.
In addition to that, I also need a tool that can produce or extract batch protein/amino acid sequences when I input the GI number into TAB-delimited or Comma-Separated spreadsheets. Is there a tool to do that?
Thank you in advance!
For ID conversion, you can use Uniprot's ID mapping: http://www.uniprot.org/uploadlists/ or biomart in R. If you're working with an animal without a genome, you can download flat files from NCBI and write a little script to match your current ID with your desired ID type.
You can do batch downloads of gene records on NCBI, I'm fairly sure you can ask for fasta files of sequences from inputted GI numbers/Entrez gene IDs. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/guide/howto/dwn-records/
Thanks Lara. Sorry for the late response, but I am checking it right now.
