Yvan, I believe this would give you a very large number of folders.
You may have better luck with Uniprot, which will allow you to download data from taxonomic groups instead of individual species, reducing the number of folders to a half million or so. Check out the uniprot download options at: http://www.uniprot.org/taxonomy/ Cheers, Marty On Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 5:18 AM, Yvan Strahm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello All, > > I want to get the all the possible protein sequence for eukaryote. > I already downloaded nr from the NCBI ftp site, but i wish to have them > sorted by organism, one folder per species.
