Retrieve accession numbers and titles for a genbank search

Retrieve accession numbers and titles for searches in genbank. This function is useful for exploring the gene-, population-, and species-level sampling in genbank.

Usage

acc.retrieve(
  organism,
  acc.num = FALSE,
  gene = NULL,
  speciesLevel = FALSE,
  npar = 2,
  nSearchesBatch = 499
)

Arguments

organism

The name of a single taxon (character).

acc.num

Logical indicating whether the organism is actually a vector or accession numbers.

gene

The name of a single gene region (character; optional).

speciesLevel

Whether the result should be a species-level dataset (logical).

npar

Number of parallel searches (the default is probably the best option).

nSearchesBatch

Number of searches per batch

Value

data.frame

Examples

if (FALSE) {
acc.retrieve(organism="Vulpes", gene = 'cytb', species=TRUE)
}
