This is a small cross-platform utility for retrieving NCBI sequences in the FASTA format, given accession numbers, for copying to the clipboard.
To run in interactive mode:
python NCBI_FASTA_Grabber.py
...and just follow the prompts.
You can also run this program with various commandline options, which is handy if you want to use it as part of a script. To see the options available, type instead:
python NCBI_FASTA_Grabber.py -h
This utility requires Python 2.7 to run, and makes use of the NCBI eUtilities and Pyperclip. Tested on Windows 8.1, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and elementary OS Freya Beta 1.
