Retrieval of nucleic acid and protein FASTA formatted sequences from an Entrez Gene search. Upon searching for and selecting the Homo sapiens SCARA3 gene, a variety of information can be retrieved including identifiers for the Ensembl, Mendelian Inheritance of Man (MIM), and Human Protein Reference Database, in addition to information about the genomic context of the gene. From the “NCBI Reference Sequences (RefSeq)” section, the most up-to-date and thoroughly curated FASTA formatted sequences may be obtained. Sequences with Accession Identifiers beginning with NM or XM are mRNA and NP or XP are protein. Multiple RefSeq entries may be present in the case of gene isoforms. Selecting the NP_057324.2 Accession Identifier, information concerning the SCARA3 isoform 1, protein is displayed, including links to publications involving this protein. By selecting “FASTA” at the top of the page, the FASTA formatted sequence is provided, which includes the reference number, species, and name. This sequence is suitable for input into most online bioinformatic tools.
