Downloading NCBI Biological Data and Creating Custom Reports Using the Command Line

About this Class

Register by April 10, 2023. This workshop is for biological researchers who would like to incorporate NCBI command-line clients into their workflows to access and process NCBI molecular data and metadata. In this workshop you will learn to use both the EDirect suite and the Datasets command-line interface (CLI) to download gene sequences, genome assemblies and their associated metadata, and create custom reports that cross reference biological features and sequence data. You do not need to have prior experience with EDirect or the Datasets CLI tools (datasets and dataformat), but you will need to be familiar with NCBI databases and comfortable using the Unix/Linux shell to get the most out of this workshop.
