Accessing NCBI’s Entrez databases¶
EInfo: Obtaining information about the Entrez databases
ESearch: Searching the Entrez databases
EPost: Uploading a list of identifiers
EFetch: Downloading full records from Entrez
Entrez (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Entrez) is a data retrieval system
that provides users access to NCBI’s databases such as PubMed, GenBank,
GEO, and many others. You can access Entrez from a web browser to
manually enter queries, or you can use Biopython’s Bio.Entrez
module
for programmatic access to Entrez. The latter allows you for example to
search PubMed or download GenBank records from within a Python script.
The Bio.Entrez
module makes use of the Entrez Programming Utilities
(also known as EUtils), consisting of eight tools that are described in
detail on NCBI’s page at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/utils/. Each
of these tools corresponds to one Python function in the Bio.Entrez
module, as described in the sections below. This module makes sure that
the correct URL is used for the queries, and that not more than one
request is made every three seconds, as required by NCBI.
The output returned by the Entrez Programming Utilities is typically in XML format. To parse such output, you have several options:
- Use
Bio.Entrez
’s parser to parse the XML output into a Python object; - Use the DOM (Document Object Model) parser in Python’s standard library;
- Use the SAX (Simple API for XML) parser in Python’s standard library;
- Read the XML output as raw text, and parse it by string searching and manipulation.
For the DOM and SAX parsers, see the Python documentation. The parser in
Bio.Entrez
is discussed below.
NCBI uses DTD (Document Type Definition) files to describe the structure
of the information contained in XML files. Most of the DTD files used by
NCBI are included in the Biopython distribution. The Bio.Entrez
parser makes use of the DTD files when parsing an XML file returned by
NCBI Entrez.
Occasionally, you may find that the DTD file associated with a specific
XML file is missing in the Biopython distribution. In particular, this
may happen when NCBI updates its DTD files. If this happens,
Entrez.read
will show a warning message with the name and URL of the
missing DTD file. The parser will proceed to access the missing DTD file
through the internet, allowing the parsing of the XML file to continue.
However, the parser is much faster if the DTD file is available locally.
For this purpose, please download the DTD file from the URL in the
warning message and place it in the directory
...site-packages/Bio/Entrez/DTDs
, containing the other DTD files. If
you don’t have write access to this directory, you can also place the
DTD file in ~/.biopython/Bio/Entrez/DTDs
, where ~
represents
your home directory. Since this directory is read before the directory
...site-packages/Bio/Entrez/DTDs
, you can also put newer versions of
DTD files there if the ones in ...site-packages/Bio/Entrez/DTDs
become outdated. Alternatively, if you installed Biopython from source,
you can add the DTD file to the source code’s Bio/Entrez/DTDs
directory, and reinstall Biopython. This will install the new DTD file
in the correct location together with the other DTD files.
The Entrez Programming Utilities can also generate output in other formats, such as the Fasta or GenBank file formats for sequence databases, or the MedLine format for the literature database, discussed in Section Specialized parsers.
Entrez Guidelines¶
Before using Biopython to access the NCBI’s online resources (via
Bio.Entrez
or some of the other modules), please read the NCBI’s
Entrez User
Requirements.
If the NCBI finds you are abusing their systems, they can and will ban
your access!
To paraphrase:
- For any series of more than 100 requests, do this at weekends or outside USA peak times. This is up to you to obey.
- Use the http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov address, not the standard NCBI Web address. Biopython uses this web address.
- Make no more than three requests every seconds (relaxed from at most one request every three seconds in early 2009). This is automatically enforced by Biopython.
- Use the optional email parameter so the NCBI can contact you if there is a problem. You can either explicitly set this as a parameter with each call to Entrez (e.g. include email=“A.N.Other@example.com” in the argument list), or you can set a global email address:
In [1]:
from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = "A.N.Other@example.com"
Bio.Entrez will then use this email address with each call to Entrez. The example.com address is a reserved domain name specifically for documentation (RFC 2606). Please DO NOT use a random email – it’s better not to give an email at all. The email parameter will be mandatory from June 1, 2010. In case of excessive usage, NCBI will attempt to contact a user at the e-mail address provided prior to blocking access to the E-utilities.
If you are using Biopython within some larger software suite, use the tool parameter to specify this. You can either explicitly set the tool name as a parameter with each call to Entrez (e.g. include tool=“MyLocalScript” in the argument list), or you can set a global tool name:
In [2]:
from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.tool = "MyLocalScript"
The tool parameter will default to Biopython.
- For large queries, the NCBI also recommend using their session history feature (the WebEnv session cookie string, see Section History and WebEnv). This is only slightly more complicated.
In conclusion, be sensible with your usage levels. If you plan to download lots of data, consider other options. For example, if you want easy access to all the human genes, consider fetching each chromosome by FTP as a GenBank file, and importing these into your own BioSQL database (see Section [sec:BioSQL]).
EInfo: Obtaining information about the Entrez databases¶
EInfo provides field index term counts, last update, and available links
for each of NCBI’s databases. In addition, you can use EInfo to obtain a
list of all database names accessible through the Entrez utilities. The
variable result
now contains a list of databases in XML format:
In [3]:
from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = "A.N.Other@example.com" # Always tell NCBI who you are
handle = Entrez.einfo()
result = handle.read()
print(result)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Since this is a fairly simple XML file, we could extract the information
it contains simply by string searching. Using Bio.Entrez
’s parser
instead, we can directly parse this XML file into a Python object:
In [4]:
from Bio import Entrez
handle = Entrez.einfo()
record = Entrez.read(handle)
Now record
is a dictionary with exactly one key:
In [5]:
record.keys()
Out[5]:
dict_keys(['DbList'])
The values stored in this key is the list of database names shown in the XML above:
In [6]:
record["DbList"]
Out[6]:
['pubmed', 'protein', 'nuccore', 'nucleotide', 'nucgss', 'nucest', 'structure', 'genome', 'annotinfo', 'assembly', 'bioproject', 'biosample', 'blastdbinfo', 'books', 'cdd', 'clinvar', 'clone', 'gap', 'gapplus', 'grasp', 'dbvar', 'epigenomics', 'gene', 'gds', 'geoprofiles', 'homologene', 'medgen', 'mesh', 'ncbisearch', 'nlmcatalog', 'omim', 'orgtrack', 'pmc', 'popset', 'probe', 'proteinclusters', 'pcassay', 'biosystems', 'pccompound', 'pcsubstance', 'pubmedhealth', 'seqannot', 'snp', 'sra', 'taxonomy', 'unigene', 'gencoll', 'gtr']
For each of these databases, we can use EInfo again to obtain more information:
In [7]:
from Bio import Entrez
handle = Entrez.einfo(db="pubmed")
record = Entrez.read(handle)
record["DbInfo"]["Description"]
Out[7]:
'PubMed bibliographic record'
In [8]:
record['DbInfo'].keys()
Out[8]:
dict_keys(['LastUpdate', 'Count', 'DbName', 'Description', 'MenuName', 'FieldList', 'DbBuild', 'LinkList'])
In [9]:
handle = Entrez.einfo(db="pubmed")
record = Entrez.read(handle)
record["DbInfo"]["Description"]
Out[9]:
'PubMed bibliographic record'
In [10]:
record["DbInfo"]["Count"]
Out[10]:
'25641704'
In [11]:
record["DbInfo"]["LastUpdate"]
Out[11]:
'2016/01/12 18:56'
Try record["DbInfo"].keys()
for other information stored in this
record. One of the most useful is a list of possible search fields for
use with ESearch:
In [12]:
for field in record["DbInfo"]["FieldList"]:
print("%(Name)s, %(FullName)s, %(Description)s" % field)

That’s a long list, but indirectly this tells you that for the PubMed
database, you can do things like Jones[AUTH]
to search the author
field, or Sanger[AFFL]
to restrict to authors at the Sanger Centre.
This can be very handy - especially if you are not so familiar with a
particular database.
ESearch: Searching the Entrez databases¶
To search any of these databases, we use Bio.Entrez.esearch()
. For
example, let’s search in PubMed for publications related to Biopython:
In [13]:
from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = "A.N.Other@example.com" # Always tell NCBI who you are
handle = Entrez.esearch(db="pubmed", term="biopython")
record = Entrez.read(handle)
record["IdList"]
Out[13]:
['24929426', '24497503', '24267035', '24194598', '23842806', '23157543', '22909249', '22399473', '21666252', '21210977', '20015970', '19811691', '19773334', '19304878', '18606172', '21585724', '16403221', '16377612', '14871861', '14630660']
In [14]:
record
Out[14]:
{'TranslationStack': [{'Explode': 'N', 'Term': 'biopython[All Fields]', 'Field': 'All Fields', 'Count': '21'}, 'GROUP'], 'IdList': ['24929426', '24497503', '24267035', '24194598', '23842806', '23157543', '22909249', '22399473', '21666252', '21210977', '20015970', '19811691', '19773334', '19304878', '18606172', '21585724', '16403221', '16377612', '14871861', '14630660'], 'TranslationSet': [], 'QueryTranslation': 'biopython[All Fields]', 'Count': '21', 'RetStart': '0', 'RetMax': '20'}
In this output, you see seven PubMed IDs (including 19304878 which is the PMID for the Biopython application), which can be retrieved by EFetch (see section EFetch: Downloading full records from Entrez).
You can also use ESearch to search GenBank. Here we’ll do a quick search for the matK gene in Cypripedioideae orchids (see Section [sec:entrez-einfo] about EInfo for one way to find out which fields you can search in each Entrez database):
In [15]:
handle = Entrez.esearch(db="nucleotide", term="Cypripedioideae[Orgn] AND matK[Gene]")
record = Entrez.read(handle)
record["Count"]
Out[15]:
'334'
In [16]:
record["IdList"]
Out[16]:
['844174433', '937957673', '694174838', '944541375', '575524123', '575524121', '575524119', '575524117', '575524115', '575524113', '575524111', '575524109', '575524107', '575524105', '575524103', '575524101', '575524099', '575524097', '575524095', '575524093']
Each of the IDs (126789333, 37222967, 37222966, …) is a GenBank identifier. See section EFetch: Downloading full records from Entrez for information on how to actually download these GenBank records.
Note that instead of a species name like Cypripedioideae[Orgn]
, you
can restrict the search using an NCBI taxon identifier, here this would
be txid158330[Orgn]
. This isn’t currently documented on the ESearch
help page - the NCBI explained this in reply to an email query. You can
often deduce the search term formatting by playing with the Entrez web
interface. For example, including complete[prop]
in a genome search
restricts to just completed genomes.
As a final example, let’s get a list of computational journal titles:
In [17]:
# nlmcatalog
# handle = Entrez.esearch(db="nlmcatalog", term="computational")
# record = Entrez.read(handle)
# record["Count"]
handle = Entrez.esearch(db="nlmcatalog", term="biopython[Journal]", RetMax='20')
record = Entrez.read(handle)
print("{} computational Journals found".format(record["Count"]))
print("The first 20 are\n{}".format(record['IdList']))
0 computational Journals found
The first 20 are
[]
Again, we could use EFetch to obtain more information for each of these journal IDs.
ESearch has many useful options — see the ESearch help page for more information.
EPost: Uploading a list of identifiers¶
EPost uploads a list of UIs for use in subsequent search strategies; see
the EPost help
page
for more information. It is available from Biopython through the
Bio.Entrez.epost()
function.
To give an example of when this is useful, suppose you have a long list of IDs you want to download using EFetch (maybe sequences, maybe citations – anything). When you make a request with EFetch your list of IDs, the database etc, are all turned into a long URL sent to the server. If your list of IDs is long, this URL gets long, and long URLs can break (e.g. some proxies don’t cope well).
Instead, you can break this up into two steps, first uploading the list of IDs using EPost (this uses an “HTML post” internally, rather than an “HTML get”, getting round the long URL problem). With the history support, you can then refer to this long list of IDs, and download the associated data with EFetch.
Let’s look at a simple example to see how EPost works – uploading some PubMed identifiers:
In [18]:
from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = "A.N.Other@example.com" # Always tell NCBI who you are
id_list = ["19304878", "18606172", "16403221", "16377612", "14871861", "14630660"]
print(Entrez.epost("pubmed", id=",".join(id_list)).read())
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE ePostResult PUBLIC "-//NLM//DTD ePostResult, 11 May 2002//EN" "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/DTD/ePost_020511.dtd">
<ePostResult>
<QueryKey>1</QueryKey>
<WebEnv>NCID_1_242547791_130.14.22.215_9001_1452651583_567658845_0MetA0_S_MegaStore_F_1</WebEnv>
</ePostResult>
The returned XML includes two important strings, QueryKey
and
WebEnv
which together define your history session. You would extract
these values for use with another Entrez call such as EFetch:
In [19]:
from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = "A.N.Other@example.com" # Always tell NCBI who you are
id_list = ["19304878", "18606172", "16403221", "16377612", "14871861", "14630660"]
search_results = Entrez.read(Entrez.epost("pubmed", id=",".join(id_list)))
webenv = search_results["WebEnv"]
query_key = search_results["QueryKey"]
Section History and WebEnv shows how to use the history feature.
ESummary: Retrieving summaries from primary IDs¶
ESummary retrieves document summaries from a list of primary IDs (see
the ESummary help
page
for more information). In Biopython, ESummary is available as
Bio.Entrez.esummary()
. Using the search result above, we can for
example find out more about the journal with ID 30367:
In [20]:
from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = "A.N.Other@example.com" # Always tell NCBI who you are
handle = Entrez.esummary(db="nlmcatalog", term="[journal]", id="101660833")
record = Entrez.read(handle)
info = record[0]['TitleMainList'][0]
print("Journal info\nid: {}\nTitle: {}".format(record[0]["Id"], info["Title"]))
Journal info
id: 101660833
Title: IEEE transactions on computational imaging.
EFetch: Downloading full records from Entrez¶
EFetch is what you use when you want to retrieve a full record from Entrez. This covers several possible databases, as described on the main EFetch Help page.
For most of their databases, the NCBI support several different file
formats. Requesting a specific file format from Entrez using
Bio.Entrez.efetch()
requires specifying the rettype
and/or
retmode
optional arguments. The different combinations are described
for each database type on the pages linked to on NCBI efetch
webpage
(e.g.
literature,
sequences
and
taxonomy).
One common usage is downloading sequences in the FASTA or
GenBank/GenPept plain text formats (which can then be parsed with
Bio.SeqIO
, see Sections [sec:SeqIO_GenBank_Online] and EFetch:
Downloading full records from
Entrez). From the
Cypripedioideae example above, we can download GenBank record
186972394 using Bio.Entrez.efetch
:
In [21]:
from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = "A.N.Other@example.com" # Always tell NCBI who you are
handle = Entrez.efetch(db="nucleotide", id="186972394", rettype="gb", retmode="text")
print(handle.read())

this record in the GenBank format.
Note that until Easter 2009, the Entrez EFetch API let you use “genbank” as the return type, however the NCBI now insist on using the official return types of “gb” or “gbwithparts” (or “gp” for proteins) as described on online. Also not that until Feb 2012, the Entrez EFetch API would default to returning plain text files, but now defaults to XML.
Alternatively, you could for example use rettype="fasta"
to get the
Fasta-format; see the EFetch Sequences Help
page
for other options. Remember – the available formats depend on which
database you are downloading from - see the main EFetch Help
page.
If you fetch the record in one of the formats accepted by Bio.SeqIO
(see Chapter [chapter:Bio.SeqIO]), you could directly parse it into a
SeqRecord
:
In [22]:
from Bio import Entrez, SeqIO
handle = Entrez.efetch(db="nucleotide", id="186972394", rettype="gb", retmode="text")
record = SeqIO.read(handle, "genbank")
handle.close()
print(record)

Seq('ATTTTTTACGAACCTGTGGAAATTTTTGGTTATGACAATAAATCTAGTTTAGTA...GAA', IUPACAmbiguousDNA())
Note that a more typical use would be to save the sequence data to a
local file, and then parse it with Bio.SeqIO
. This can save you
having to re-download the same file repeatedly while working on your
script, and places less load on the NCBI’s servers. For example:
In [23]:
import os
from Bio import SeqIO
from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = "A.N.Other@example.com" # Always tell NCBI who you are
filename = "gi_186972394.gbk"
if not os.path.isfile(filename):
# Downloading...
with Entrez.efetch(db="nucleotide",id="186972394",rettype="gb", retmode="text") as net_handle:
with open(filename, "w") as out_handle:
out_handle.write(net_handle.read())
print("Saved")
print("Parsing...")
record = SeqIO.read(filename, "genbank")
print(record)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-23-d6d046a39755> in <module>()

----> 8 with Entrez.efetch(db="nucleotide",id="186972394",rettype="gb", retmode="text") as net_handle:
9 with open(filename, "w") as out_handle:
10 out_handle.write(net_handle.read())
AttributeError: __exit__
To get the output in XML format, which you can parse using the
Bio.Entrez.read()
function, use retmode="xml"
:
In [24]:
from Bio import Entrez
handle = Entrez.efetch(db="nucleotide", id="186972394", retmode="xml")
record = Entrez.read(handle)
handle.close()
record[0]["GBSeq_definition"]
Out[24]:
'Selenipedium aequinoctiale maturase K (matK) gene, partial cds; chloroplast'
In [25]:
record[0]["GBSeq_source"]
Out[25]:
'chloroplast Selenipedium aequinoctiale'
So, that dealt with sequences. For examples of parsing file formats
specific to the other databases (e.g. the MEDLINE
format used in
PubMed), see Section Specialized parsers.
If you want to perform a search with Bio.Entrez.esearch()
, and then
download the records with Bio.Entrez.efetch()
, you should use the
WebEnv history feature – see Section History and
WebEnv.
EGQuery: Global Query - counts for search terms¶
EGQuery provides counts for a search term in each of the Entrez databases (i.e. a global query). This is particularly useful to find out how many items your search terms would find in each database without actually performing lots of separate searches with ESearch (see the example in [subsec:entrez_example_genbank] below).
In this example, we use Bio.Entrez.egquery()
to obtain the counts
for “Biopython”:
In [31]:
from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = "A.N.Other@example.com" # Always tell NCBI who you are
handle = Entrez.egquery(term="biopython")
record = Entrez.read(handle)
for row in record["eGQueryResult"]:
print(row["DbName"], row["Count"])

ESpell: Obtaining spelling suggestions¶
ESpell retrieves spelling suggestions. In this example, we use
Bio.Entrez.espell()
to obtain the correct spelling of Biopython:
In [32]:
from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = "A.N.Other@example.com" # Always tell NCBI who you are
handle = Entrez.espell(term="biopythooon")
record = Entrez.read(handle)
record["Query"]
Out[32]:
'biopythooon'
In [33]:
record["CorrectedQuery"]
Out[33]:
'biopython'
See the ESpell help page for more information. The main use of this is for GUI tools to provide automatic suggestions for search terms.
Parsing huge Entrez XML files¶
The Entrez.read
function reads the entire XML file returned by
Entrez into a single Python object, which is kept in memory. To parse
Entrez XML files too large to fit in memory, you can use the function
Entrez.parse
. This is a generator function that reads records in the
XML file one by one. This function is only useful if the XML file
reflects a Python list object (in other words, if Entrez.read
on a
computer with infinite memory resources would return a Python list).
For example, you can download the entire Entrez Gene database for a
given organism as a file from NCBI’s ftp site. These files can be very
large. As an example, on September 4, 2009, the file
Homo_sapiens.ags.gz
, containing the Entrez Gene database for human,
had a size of 116576 kB. This file, which is in the ASN
format, can
be converted into an XML file using NCBI’s gene2xml
program (see
NCBI’s ftp site for more information):
gene2xml -b T -i Homo_sapiens.ags -o Homo_sapiens.xml
The resulting XML file has a size of 6.1 GB. Attempting Entrez.read
on this file will result in a MemoryError
on many computers.
The XML file Homo_sapiens.xml
consists of a list of Entrez gene
records, each corresponding to one Entrez gene in human.
Entrez.parse
retrieves these gene records one by one. You can then
print out or store the relevant information in each record by iterating
over the records. For example, this script iterates over the Entrez gene
records and prints out the gene numbers and names for all current genes:
TODO: need alternate example, download option or ...
from Bio import Entrez
handle = open("Homo_sapiens.xml")
records = Entrez.parse(handle)
for record in records:
status = record['Entrezgene_track-info']['Gene-track']['Gene-track_status']
if status.attributes['value']=='discontinued':
continue
geneid = record['Entrezgene_track-info']['Gene-track']['Gene-track_geneid']
genename = record['Entrezgene_gene']['Gene-ref']['Gene-ref_locus']
print(geneid, genename)
This will print:
1 A1BG
2 A2M
3 A2MP
8 AA
9 NAT1
10 NAT2
11 AACP
12 SERPINA3
13 AADAC
14 AAMP
15 AANAT
16 AARS
17 AAVS1
...
Handling errors¶
Three things can go wrong when parsing an XML file:
- The file may not be an XML file to begin with;
- The file may end prematurely or otherwise be corrupted;
- The file may be correct XML, but contain items that are not represented in the associated DTD.
The first case occurs if, for example, you try to parse a Fasta file as if it were an XML file:
In [34]:
from Bio import Entrez
from Bio.Entrez.Parser import NotXMLError
handle = open("data/NC_005816.fna", 'rb') # a Fasta file
try:
record = Entrez.read(handle)
except NotXMLError as e:
print('We are expecting to get NotXMLError')
print(e)
We are expecting to get NotXMLError
Failed to parse the XML data (syntax error: line 1, column 0). Please make sure that the input data are in XML format.
Here, the parser didn’t find the <?xml ...
tag with which an XML
file is supposed to start, and therefore decides (correctly) that the
file is not an XML file.
When your file is in the XML format but is corrupted (for example, by ending prematurely), the parser will raise a CorruptedXMLError. Here is an example of an XML file that ends prematurely:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE eInfoResult PUBLIC "-//NLM//DTD eInfoResult, 11 May 2002//EN" "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/DTD/eInfo_020511.dtd">

Note that the error message tells you at what point in the XML file the error was detected.
The third type of error occurs if the XML file contains tags that do not have a description in the corresponding DTD file. This is an example of such an XML file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

the parser will stop and raise a ValidationError if it cannot find some

ValidationError: Failed to find tag 'DocsumList' in the DTD. To skip all tags that are not represented in the DTD, please call Bio.Entrez.read or Bio.Entrez.parse with validate=False.
Optionally, you can instruct the parser to skip such tags instead of
raising a ValidationError. This is done by calling Entrez.read
or
Entrez.parse
with the argument validate
equal to False:
In [35]:
from Bio import Entrez
handle = open("data/einfo3.xml", 'rb')
record = Entrez.read(handle, validate=False)
Of course, the information contained in the XML tags that are not in the
DTD are not present in the record returned by Entrez.read
.
Specialized parsers¶
The Bio.Entrez.read()
function can parse most (if not all) XML
output returned by Entrez. Entrez typically allows you to retrieve
records in other formats, which may have some advantages compared to the
XML format in terms of readability (or download size).
To request a specific file format from Entrez using
Bio.Entrez.efetch()
requires specifying the rettype
and/or
retmode
optional arguments. The different combinations are described
for each database type on the NCBI efetch
webpage.
One obvious case is you may prefer to download sequences in the FASTA or
GenBank/GenPept plain text formats (which can then be parsed with
Bio.SeqIO
, see Sections [sec:SeqIO_GenBank_Online] and EFetch:
Downloading full records from
Entrez). For the
literature databases, Biopython contains a parser for the MEDLINE
format used in PubMed.
Parsing Medline records¶
You can find the Medline parser in Bio.Medline
. Suppose we want to
parse the file pubmed_result1.txt
, containing one Medline record.
You can find this file in Biopython’s Tests\Medline
directory. The
file looks like this:
PMID- 12230038
OWN - NLM
STAT- MEDLINE
DA - 20020916
DCOM- 20030606

...
We first open the file and then parse it:
In [36]:
from Bio import Medline
with open("data/pubmed_result1.txt") as handle:
record = Medline.read(handle)
The record
now contains the Medline record as a Python dictionary:
In [37]:
record["PMID"]
Out[37]:
'12230038'
In [38]:
record["AB"]
Out[38]:

To parse a file containing multiple Medline records, you can use the
parse
function instead:
In [40]:
from Bio import Medline
with open("data/pubmed_result2.txt") as handle:
for record in Medline.parse(handle):
print(record["TI"])
A high level interface to SCOP and ASTRAL implemented in python.
GenomeDiagram: a python package for the visualization of large-scale genomic data.
Open source clustering software.
PDB file parser and structure class implemented in Python.
Instead of parsing Medline records stored in files, you can also parse
Medline records downloaded by Bio.Entrez.efetch
. For example, let’s
look at all Medline records in PubMed related to Biopython:
In [41]:
from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = "A.N.Other@example.com" # Always tell NCBI who you are
handle = Entrez.esearch(db="pubmed", term="biopython")
record = Entrez.read(handle)
record["IdList"]
Out[41]:
['24929426', '24497503', '24267035', '24194598', '23842806', '23157543', '22909249', '22399473', '21666252', '21210977', '20015970', '19811691', '19773334', '19304878', '18606172', '21585724', '16403221', '16377612', '14871861', '14630660']
We now use Bio.Entrez.efetch
to download these Medline records:
In [42]:
idlist = record["IdList"]
handle = Entrez.efetch(db="pubmed", id=idlist, rettype="medline", retmode="text")
Here, we specify rettype="medline", retmode="text"
to obtain the
Medline records in plain-text Medline format. Now we use Bio.Medline
to parse these records:
In [43]:
from Bio import Medline
records = Medline.parse(handle)

Parsing GEO records¶
GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus) is
a data repository of high-throughput gene expression and hybridization
array data. The Bio.Geo
module can be used to parse GEO-formatted
data.
The following code fragment shows how to parse the example GEO file
GSE16.txt
into a record and print the record:
In [45]:
from Bio import Geo
handle = open("data/GSE16.txt")
records = Geo.parse(handle)
for record in records:
print(record)

You can search the “gds” database (GEO datasets) with ESearch:
In [46]:
from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = "A.N.Other@example.com" # Always tell NCBI who you are
handle = Entrez.esearch(db="gds", term="GSE16")
record = Entrez.read(handle)
record["Count"]
Out[46]:
'27'
In [47]:
record["IdList"]
Out[47]:
['200000016', '100000028', '300000818', '300000817', '300000816', '300000815', '300000814', '300000813', '300000812', '300000811', '300000810', '300000809', '300000808', '300000807', '300000806', '300000805', '300000804', '300000803', '300000802', '300000801']
From the Entrez website, UID “200000016” is GDS16 while the other hit “100000028” is for the associated platform, GPL28. Unfortunately, at the time of writing the NCBI don’t seem to support downloading GEO files using Entrez (not as XML, nor in the Simple Omnibus Format in Text (SOFT) format).
However, it is actually pretty straight forward to download the GEO files by FTP or HTTP from http://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/geo/ instead. In this case you might want http://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/geo/DATA/SOFT/by_series/GSE16/GSE16_family.soft.gz (a compressed file, see the Python module gzip).
Parsing UniGene records¶
UniGene is an NCBI database of the transcriptome, with each UniGene record showing the set of transcripts that are associated with a particular gene in a specific organism. A typical UniGene record looks like this:
ID Hs.2
TITLE N-acetyltransferase 2 (arylamine N-acetyltransferase)
GENE NAT2
CYTOBAND 8p22
GENE_ID 10
LOCUSLINK 10
HOMOL YES
EXPRESS bone| connective tissue| intestine| liver| liver tumor| normal| soft tissue/muscle tissue tumor| adult
RESTR_EXPR adult

//
This particular record shows the set of transcripts (shown in the
SEQUENCE
lines) that originate from the human gene NAT2, encoding en
N-acetyltransferase. The PROTSIM
lines show proteins with
significant similarity to NAT2, whereas the STS
lines show the
corresponding sequence-tagged sites in the genome.
To parse UniGene files, use the Bio.UniGene
module:
TODO: Need a working example
In [48]:
# from Bio import UniGene
# input = open("data/myunigenefile.data")
# record = UniGene.read(input)
The record
returned by UniGene.read
is a Python object with
attributes corresponding to the fields in the UniGene record. For
example,
In [49]:
# record.ID
In [50]:
# record.title
The EXPRESS
and RESTR_EXPR
lines are stored as Python lists of
strings:
['bone', 'connective tissue', 'intestine', 'liver', 'liver tumor', 'normal', 'soft tissue/muscle tissue tumor', 'adult']
Specialized objects are returned for the STS
, PROTSIM
, and
SEQUENCE
lines, storing the keys shown in each line as attributes:
In [51]:
# record.sts[0].acc
In [52]:
# record.sts[0].unists
and similarly for the PROTSIM
and SEQUENCE
lines.
To parse a file containing more than one UniGene record, use the
parse
function in Bio.UniGene
:
TODO: Need a working example
In [53]:
# from Bio import UniGene
# input = open("unigenerecords.data")
# records = UniGene.parse(input)
# for record in records:
# print(record.ID)
Using a proxy¶
Normally you won’t have to worry about using a proxy, but if this is an
issue on your network here is how to deal with it. Internally,
Bio.Entrez
uses the standard Python library urllib
for accessing
the NCBI servers. This will check an environment variable called
http_proxy
to configure any simple proxy automatically.
Unfortunately this module does not support the use of proxies which
require authentication.
You may choose to set the http_proxy
environment variable once (how
you do this will depend on your operating system). Alternatively you can
set this within Python at the start of your script, for example:
import os
os.environ["http_proxy"] = "http://proxyhost.example.com:8080"
See the urllib documentation for more details.
Examples¶
PubMed and Medline¶
If you are in the medical field or interested in human issues (and many times even if you are not!), PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/) is an excellent source of all kinds of goodies. So like other things, we’d like to be able to grab information from it and use it in Python scripts.
In this example, we will query PubMed for all articles having to do with orchids (see section [sec:orchids] for our motivation). We first check how many of such articles there are:
In [54]:
from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = "A.N.Other@example.com" # Always tell NCBI who you are
handle = Entrez.egquery(term="orchid")
record = Entrez.read(handle)
for row in record["eGQueryResult"]:
if row["DbName"]=="pubmed":
print(row["Count"])
1376
Now we use the Bio.Entrez.efetch
function to download the PubMed IDs
of these 463 articles:
In [55]:
handle = Entrez.esearch(db="pubmed", term="orchid", retmax=463)
record = Entrez.read(handle)
idlist = record["IdList"]
print("The first 10 Id's containing all of the PubMed IDs of articles related to orchids:\n {}".format(idlist[:10]))
The first 10 Id's containing all of the PubMed IDs of articles related to orchids:
['26752741', '26743923', '26738548', '26732875', '26732614', '26724929', '26715121', '26713612', '26708054', '26694378']
Now that we’ve got them, we obviously want to get the corresponding
Medline records and extract the information from them. Here, we’ll
download the Medline records in the Medline flat-file format, and use
the Bio.Medline
module to parse them:
In [56]:
from Bio import Medline
handle = Entrez.efetch(db="pubmed", id=idlist, rettype="medline")
In [57]:
records = Medline.parse(handle)
NOTE - We’ve just done a separate search and fetch here, the NCBI much prefer you to take advantage of their history support in this situation. See Section History and WebEnv.
Keep in mind that records
is an iterator, so you can iterate through
the records only once. If you want to save the records, you can convert
them to a list:
In [58]:
records = list(records)
Let’s now iterate over the records to print out some information about each record:
In [59]:
for record in records:
print("title:", record.get("TI", "?"))
print("authors:", record.get("AU", "?"))
print("source:", record.get("SO", "?"))
print("")

Especially interesting to note is the list of authors, which is returned as a standard Python list. This makes it easy to manipulate and search using standard Python tools. For instance, we could loop through a whole bunch of entries searching for a particular author with code like the following:
In [60]:
search_author = "Waits T"
In [61]:
for record in records:
if not "AU" in record:
continue
if search_author in record["AU"]:
print("Author %s found: %s" % (search_author, record["SO"]))
Hopefully this section gave you an idea of the power and flexibility of the Entrez and Medline interfaces and how they can be used together.
Searching, downloading, and parsing Entrez Nucleotide records¶
Here we’ll show a simple example of performing a remote Entrez query. In section [sec:orchids] of the parsing examples, we talked about using NCBI’s Entrez website to search the NCBI nucleotide databases for info on Cypripedioideae, our friends the lady slipper orchids. Now, we’ll look at how to automate that process using a Python script. In this example, we’ll just show how to connect, get the results, and parse them, with the Entrez module doing all of the work.
First, we use EGQuery to find out the number of results we will get before actually downloading them. EGQuery will tell us how many search results were found in each of the databases, but for this example we are only interested in nucleotides:
In [62]:
from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = "A.N.Other@example.com" # Always tell NCBI who you are
handle = Entrez.egquery(term="Cypripedioideae")
record = Entrez.read(handle)
for row in record["eGQueryResult"]:
if row["DbName"]=="nuccore":
print(row["Count"])
4247
So, we expect to find 814 Entrez Nucleotide records (this is the number I obtained in 2008; it is likely to increase in the future). If you find some ridiculously high number of hits, you may want to reconsider if you really want to download all of them, which is our next step:
In [63]:
from Bio import Entrez
handle = Entrez.esearch(db="nucleotide", term="Cypripedioideae", retmax=814)
record = Entrez.read(handle)
Here, record
is a Python dictionary containing the search results
and some auxiliary information. Just for information, let’s look at what
is stored in this dictionary:
In [64]:
print(record.keys())
dict_keys(['TranslationStack', 'IdList', 'TranslationSet', 'QueryTranslation', 'Count', 'RetStart', 'RetMax'])
First, let’s check how many results were found:
In [65]:
print(record["Count"])
4247
which is the number we expected. The 814 results are stored in
record['IdList']
:
In [66]:
len(record["IdList"])
Out[66]:
814
Let’s look at the first five results:
In [67]:
record["IdList"][:5]
Out[67]:
['874509867', '874509089', '844174433', '937957673', '694174838']
[sec:entrez-batched-efetch] We can download these records using
efetch
. While you could download these records one by one, to reduce
the load on NCBI’s servers, it is better to fetch a bunch of records at
the same time, shown below. However, in this situation you should
ideally be using the history feature described later in
Section History and WebEnv.
In [68]:
idlist = ",".join(record["IdList"][:5])
print(idlist)
874509867,874509089,844174433,937957673,694174838
In [69]:
handle = Entrez.efetch(db="nucleotide", id=idlist, retmode="xml")
records = Entrez.read(handle)
len(records)
Out[69]:
5
Each of these records corresponds to one GenBank record.
In [70]:
print(records[0].keys())
dict_keys(['GBSeq_division', 'GBSeq_moltype', 'GBSeq_definition', 'GBSeq_topology', 'GBSeq_locus', 'GBSeq_strandedness', 'GBSeq_source', 'GBSeq_taxonomy', 'GBSeq_create-date', 'GBSeq_accession-version', 'GBSeq_references', 'GBSeq_sequence', 'GBSeq_other-seqids', 'GBSeq_primary-accession', 'GBSeq_length', 'GBSeq_update-date', 'GBSeq_feature-table', 'GBSeq_organism'])
In [71]:
print(records[0]["GBSeq_primary-accession"])
KP644081
In [72]:
print(records[0]["GBSeq_other-seqids"])
['gnl|uoguelph|SCBI449-14.rbcLa', 'gb|KP644081.1|', 'gi|874509867']
In [73]:
print(records[0]["GBSeq_definition"])
Cypripedium calceolus voucher SNP_13_0359 ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large subunit (rbcL) gene, partial cds; chloroplast
In [74]:
print(records[0]["GBSeq_organism"])
Cypripedium calceolus
You could use this to quickly set up searches – but for heavy usage, see Section History and WebEnv.
Searching, downloading, and parsing GenBank records¶
The GenBank record format is a very popular method of holding information about sequences, sequence features, and other associated sequence information. The format is a good way to get information from the NCBI databases at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/.
In this example we’ll show how to query the NCBI databases,to retrieve
the records from the query, and then parse them using Bio.SeqIO
-
something touched on in Section [sec:SeqIO_GenBank_Online]. For
simplicity, this example does not take advantage of the WebEnv history
feature – see Section History and
WebEnv for this.
First, we want to make a query and find out the ids of the records to retrieve. Here we’ll do a quick search for one of our favorite organisms, Opuntia (prickly-pear cacti). We can do quick search and get back the GIs (GenBank identifiers) for all of the corresponding records. First we check how many records there are:
In [75]:
from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = "A.N.Other@example.com" # Always tell NCBI who you are
handle = Entrez.egquery(term="Opuntia AND rpl16")
record = Entrez.read(handle)
for row in record["eGQueryResult"]:
if row["DbName"]=="nuccore":
print(row["Count"])
26
Now we download the list of GenBank identifiers:
In [76]:
handle = Entrez.esearch(db="nuccore", term="Opuntia AND rpl16")
record = Entrez.read(handle)
gi_list = record["IdList"]
gi_list
Out[76]:
['377581039', '330887241', '330887240', '330887239', '330887238', '330887237', '330887236', '330887235', '330887233', '330887232', '330887231', '330887228', '330887227', '330887226', '330887225', '330887224', '330887223', '57240072', '57240071', '6273287']
Now we use these GIs to download the GenBank records - note that with older versions of Biopython you had to supply a comma separated list of GI numbers to Entrez, as of Biopython 1.59 you can pass a list and this is converted for you:
In [77]:
gi_str = ",".join(gi_list)
handle = Entrez.efetch(db="nuccore", id=gi_str, rettype="gb", retmode="text")
If you want to look at the raw GenBank files, you can read from this handle and print out the result:
In [78]:
text = handle.read()
print(text)

In this case, we are just getting the raw records. To get the records in
a more Python-friendly form, we can use Bio.SeqIO
to parse the
GenBank data into SeqRecord
objects, including SeqFeature
objects (see Chapter [chapter:Bio.SeqIO]):
In [79]:
from Bio import SeqIO
handle = Entrez.efetch(db="nuccore", id=gi_str, rettype="gb", retmode="text")
records = SeqIO.parse(handle, "gb")
We can now step through the records and look at the information we are interested in:
In [80]:
for record in records:
print("%s, length %i, with %i features" \
% (record.name, len(record), len(record.features)))
HQ621368, length 399, with 3 features
HM041482, length 1197, with 3 features
HM041481, length 1200, with 3 features

Using these automated query retrieval functionality is a big plus over doing things by hand. Although the module should obey the NCBI’s max three queries per second rule, the NCBI have other recommendations like avoiding peak hours. See Section [sec:entrez-guidelines]. In particular, please note that for simplicity, this example does not use the WebEnv history feature. You should use this for any non-trivial search and download work, see Section History and WebEnv.
Finally, if plan to repeat your analysis, rather than downloading the files from the NCBI and parsing them immediately (as shown in this example), you should just download the records once and save them to your hard disk, and then parse the local file.
Finding the lineage of an organism¶
Staying with a plant example, let’s now find the lineage of the Cypripedioideae orchid family. First, we search the Taxonomy database for Cypripedioideae, which yields exactly one NCBI taxonomy identifier:
In [81]:
from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = "A.N.Other@example.com" # Always tell NCBI who you are
handle = Entrez.esearch(db="Taxonomy", term="Cypripedioideae")
record = Entrez.read(handle)
record["IdList"]
Out[81]:
['158330']
In [82]:
record["IdList"][0]
Out[82]:
'158330'
Now, we use efetch
to download this entry in the Taxonomy database,
and then parse it:
In [83]:
handle = Entrez.efetch(db="Taxonomy", id="158330", retmode="xml")
records = Entrez.read(handle)
Again, this record stores lots of information:
In [84]:
records[0].keys()
Out[84]:
dict_keys(['PubDate', 'ScientificName', 'Division', 'MitoGeneticCode', 'GeneticCode', 'CreateDate', 'Rank', 'ParentTaxId', 'LineageEx', 'TaxId', 'Lineage', 'UpdateDate', 'OtherNames'])
We can get the lineage directly from this record:
In [85]:
records[0]["Lineage"]
Out[85]:
'cellular organisms; Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Streptophytina; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Euphyllophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliophyta; Mesangiospermae; Liliopsida; Petrosaviidae; Asparagales; Orchidaceae'
The record data contains much more than just the information shown here
- for example look under LineageEx
instead of Lineage
and you’ll
get the NCBI taxon identifiers of the lineage entries too.
Using the history and WebEnv¶
Often you will want to make a series of linked queries. Most typically, running a search, perhaps refining the search, and then retrieving detailed search results. You can do this by making a series of separate calls to Entrez. However, the NCBI prefer you to take advantage of their history support - for example combining ESearch and EFetch.
Another typical use of the history support would be to combine EPost and EFetch. You use EPost to upload a list of identifiers, which starts a new history session. You then download the records with EFetch by referring to the session (instead of the identifiers).
Searching for and downloading sequences using the history¶
Suppose we want to search and download all the Opuntia rpl16
nucleotide sequences, and store them in a FASTA file. As shown in
Section [sec:entrez-search-fetch-genbank], we can naively combine
Bio.Entrez.esearch()
to get a list of GI numbers, and then call
Bio.Entrez.efetch()
to download them all.
However, the approved approach is to run the search with the history feature. Then, we can fetch the results by reference to the search results - which the NCBI can anticipate and cache.
To do this, call Bio.Entrez.esearch()
as normal, but with the
additional argument of usehistory="y"
,
In [86]:
from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = "history.user@example.com"
search_handle = Entrez.esearch(db="nucleotide",term="Opuntia[orgn] and rpl16", usehistory="y")
search_results = Entrez.read(search_handle)
search_handle.close()
When you get the XML output back, it will still include the usual search
results. However, you also get given two additional pieces of
information, the WebEnv
session cookie, and the QueryKey
:
In [87]:
gi_list = search_results["IdList"]
count = int(search_results["Count"])
assert count == len(gi_list)
print("The WebEnv is {}".format(search_results["WebEnv"]))
print("The QueryKey is {}".format(search_results["QueryKey"]))
The WebEnv is NCID_1_946410500_130.14.18.34_9001_1452651901_1799213676_0MetA0_S_MegaStore_F_1
The QueryKey is 1
Having stored these values in variables session_cookie and query_key
we can use them as parameters to Bio.Entrez.efetch()
instead of
giving the GI numbers as identifiers.
While for small searches you might be OK downloading everything at once, it is better to download in batches. You use the retstart and retmax parameters to specify which range of search results you want returned (starting entry using zero-based counting, and maximum number of results to return). Sometimes you will get intermittent errors from Entrez, HTTPError 5XX, we use a try except pause retry block to address this. For example,
from Bio import Entrez
import time
try:
from urllib.error import HTTPError # for Python 3
except ImportError:
from urllib2 import HTTPError # for Python 2
batch_size = 3
out_handle = open("orchid_rpl16.fasta", "w")
for start in range(0, count, batch_size):
end = min(count, start+batch_size)
print("Going to download record %i to %i" % (start+1, end))
attempt = 1
while attempt <= 3:
try:
fetch_handle = Entrez.efetch(db="nucleotide", rettype="fasta", retmode="text",
retstart=start, retmax=batch_size,
webenv=webenv, query_key=query_key)
except HTTPError as err:
if 500 <= err.code <= 599:
print("Received error from server %s" % err)
print("Attempt %i of 3" % attempt)
attempt += 1
time.sleep(15)
else:
raise
data = fetch_handle.read()
fetch_handle.close()
out_handle.write(data)
out_handle.close()
For illustrative purposes, this example downloaded the FASTA records in batches of three. Unless you are downloading genomes or chromosomes, you would normally pick a larger batch size.
Searching for and downloading abstracts using the history¶
Here is another history example, searching for papers published in the last year about the Opuntia, and then downloading them into a file in MedLine format:
from Bio import Entrez
import time
try:
from urllib.error import HTTPError # for Python 3
except ImportError:
from urllib2 import HTTPError # for Python 2
Entrez.email = "history.user@example.com"
search_results = Entrez.read(Entrez.esearch(db="pubmed",
term="Opuntia[ORGN]",
reldate=365, datetype="pdat",
usehistory="y"))
count = int(search_results["Count"])
print("Found %i results" % count)
batch_size = 10
out_handle = open("recent_orchid_papers.txt", "w")
for start in range(0,count,batch_size):
end = min(count, start+batch_size)
print("Going to download record %i to %i" % (start+1, end))
attempt = 1
while attempt <= 3:
try:
fetch_handle = Entrez.efetch(db="pubmed",rettype="medline",
retmode="text",retstart=start,
retmax=batch_size,
webenv=search_results["WebEnv"],
query_key=search_results["QueryKey"])
except HTTPError as err:
if 500 <= err.code <= 599:
print("Received error from server %s" % err)
print("Attempt %i of 3" % attempt)
attempt += 1
time.sleep(15)
else:
raise
data = fetch_handle.read()
fetch_handle.close()
out_handle.write(data)
out_handle.close()
At the time of writing, this gave 28 matches - but because this is a
date dependent search, this will of course vary. As described in
Section [subsec:entrez-and-medline] above, you can then use
Bio.Medline
to parse the saved records.
Searching for citations¶
Back in Section [sec:elink] we mentioned ELink can be used to search for citations of a given paper. Unfortunately this only covers journals indexed for PubMed Central (doing it for all the journals in PubMed would mean a lot more work for the NIH). Let’s try this for the Biopython PDB parser paper, PubMed ID 14630660:
In [88]:
from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = "A.N.Other@example.com"
pmid = "14630660"
results = Entrez.read(Entrez.elink(dbfrom="pubmed", db="pmc",
LinkName="pubmed_pmc_refs", from_uid=pmid))
pmc_ids = [link["Id"] for link in results[0]["LinkSetDb"][0]["Link"]]
pmc_ids
Out[88]:
['4595337',
'4584387',
'4520291',

Great - eleven articles. But why hasn’t the Biopython application note been found (PubMed ID 19304878)? Well, as you might have guessed from the variable names, there are not actually PubMed IDs, but PubMed Central IDs. Our application note is the third citing paper in that list, PMCID 2682512.
So, what if (like me) you’d rather get back a list of PubMed IDs? Well we can call ELink again to translate them. This becomes a two step process, so by now you should expect to use the history feature to accomplish it (Section History and WebEnv).
But first, taking the more straightforward approach of making a second (separate) call to ELink:
In [89]:
results2 = Entrez.read(Entrez.elink(dbfrom="pmc", db="pubmed", LinkName="pmc_pubmed",
from_uid=",".join(pmc_ids)))
pubmed_ids = [link["Id"] for link in results2[0]["LinkSetDb"][0]["Link"]]
