Other important information

• All data extracts created within the BioExtract Server are privately owned by the user and are only made available to others by explicitly sharing them with a group. This is accomplished by: (i) navigating to the Groups tab; (ii) creating a group under additional actions; (iii) clicking on the new group; (iv) selecting the Extracts tab for the new group; and finally (v) clicking the Add Elements button to select the data extract to share.

• Data extracts may also be created by using the Fetch Sequence Records tool on the Query page. After selecting the tool, enter or upload a list of sequence record identifiers, such as accession numbers and then specify the database for searching, such as NCBI, EMBL or UniProt. Results will display on the Extracts page.

• You can select records listed across multiple result pages before clicking on the “Keep Only Selected Records” button.

• Clicking on the “Keep Only Selected Records” button permanently updates the list of results. If you want to see your original results, you'll need to re–execute the query.
