Description
Summary:The Entrez programming utilities (eUtils) are a set of seven server-side programs that provide a stable interface into the Entrez query and database system at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). The eUtils use a fixed URL syntax that translates a standard set of input parameters into the values necessary for various NCBI software components to search for and retrieve the requested data. This guide first describes the general function and use of the eUtils and then outlines strategies for creating customized data pipelines with examples in Perl
