A while back, I wrote a little
hack to to download and parse genome data from NCBI, but was
flummoxed by NCBI's format for eukaryotes. A couple of local bioinformatics gurus directed me to UCSC as an alternate data source.
UCSC's Genome Browser provides a nice interface to it's underlying data through a
Table Browser. The main genome browser has data for eukaryotes, while archaea (and other prokaryotes) are in a
separate project. The
Table Browser for the archaeal genome browser is a little tricky to find, but it's there.
