Perform metagenomic data retrieval and functional annotation
retrieval. In detail, this package aims to provide users with a standardized
way to automate genome, proteome, coding sequence ('CDS'), 'GFF', and metagenome
retrieval from 'NCBI' and 'ENSEMBL' databases. Furthermore, an interface to the 'BioMart' database
(Smedley et al. (2009) <doi:10.1186/1471-2164-10-22>) allows users to retrieve
functional annotation for genomic loci. Users can download entire databases such
as 'NCBI RefSeq' (Pruitt et al. (2007) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkl842>), 'NCBI nr',
'NCBI nt' and 'NCBI Genbank' (Benson et al. (2013) <doi:10.1093/nar/gks1195>) as
well as 'ENSEMBL' and 'ENSEMBLGENOMES' with only one command.

Perform large scale genomic data retrieval and functional annotation retrieval. This package aims to provide users with a standardized
way to automate genome, proteome, 'RNA', coding sequence ('CDS'), 'GFF', and metagenome
retrieval from 'NCBI RefSeq', 'NCBI Genbank', 'ENSEMBL', 'ENSEMBLGENOMES',
and 'UniProt' databases. Furthermore, an interface to the 'BioMart' database
(Smedley et al. (2009) <doi:10.1186/1471-2164-10-22>) allows users to retrieve
functional annotation for genomic loci. In addition, users can download entire databases such

'NCBI nt', 'NCBI Genbank' (Benson et al. (2013) <doi:10.1093/nar/gks1195>), etc. as
well as 'ENSEMBL' and 'ENSEMBLGENOMES' with only one command.
