MATLAB: How to extract a specific genome build using GETGENBANK in the Bioinformatics Toolbox

Question

I would like to extract DNA sequences from the human genome with GETGENBANK.

I want to get a specific genome build with GETGENBANK and I would like to know which build he is getting by default.

For example, if I'm reading a paper which uses build 37.xx, and I want to replecate their work, do the sequence numbers correspond to the same chromosome in another build? If not, then I need to know which build I am using. Also, I will need a chart so that I can figure out the starting sequence number and ending sequence number of each chromosome.

Answer 1

The ability to retrieve a specific genome build from GETGENBANK is not available in the Bioinformatics Toolbox.

To do this, you must manually download a particular build from the NCBI ftp site.
