I did a search on entrez in NCBI with specific parameters and I got around 48,000 search results. I just need around 2000 fasta sequences. Is there a particular entrez query to just display the first 2000 results so that I could download them in a file. Currently, all the 48,000 results would be downloaded. Entrez suffers from the lack of a select all option on its search pages too. This means that I would have to individually display each page and manually tick each sequence and then download them. Please give a suggestion. Thank you
Are you interacting with Entrez with GUI or in a script?
in GUI.. I ended up limiting results by setting parameters for the length of sequences and then using download all.
