On your FTP server, I have only seen files containing the entire EST division. Can I download the three subdivisions of human, murine, and other ESTs separately?

Yes, you can download the raw sequence data in this way. The EST data sets are available separated by organism, but only in FASTA format and not as full GenBank records. These FASTA sequence files are available at ftp://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/. From the NCBI home page, select Anonymous FTP, then BLAST, and then the db subdirectory. You will see est_human.z, est_mouse.z, and est_others.z. Return to Table of Contents Selected Recent Publications by NCBI Staff Aravind, L, DR Walker, and EV Koonin.
