EZRetrieve is just for Humans .. I dont think that solves Charles' problem.. <br>
Charles .. can you tell me some more about the R/BioMart route .. n am unaware of the BLAT procedure as well ...<br>

<br>><br>> I have tried the R/BioMart route, but the organisms I want are not<br>> available in BioMart (yet). The next option would be to use BLAT to<br>> retrieve the gene positions and then retrieve the upstream regions,
<br>> but<br>> I am looking for a simpler solution. Does one of the Bio modules of i.e<br>><br>> Python/Java/PERL support this functionality?<br>><br>> The aim is to put up a little internal web-service for promoter
<br>> searches, for which the desired gene ID (GenBankId) would be entered and<br>><br>> the ~2kb upstream region returned.<br>><br>> Thanx, in advance<br>> --<br>><br>> Charles</blockquote></div><br>
