Checking if RefSeq genome available or not without downloading?

[nahid18]

Hi, is there any handy function to check if the RefSeq genome available for a Species? The download function returns 1 if the RefSeq genome is not available and returns 0 if available.

Although, the process is slow for individual species query, I can check which species has RefSeq genome available or not by looking at 1 or 0. To fasten the process, if I query all the species at one time, then I get no information about which species has RefSeq genome available or not.

So I am wondering, is there any handy function available, where I can send all the species at once, that returns a result that will show me which species has RefSeq genome or not. Then I can use the download function only for the available genomes.

Hi there. There's no function at the moment, I'm afraid. Could be a nice addition.

On a tangent: Is there a flag that enables logging which genomes have NOT been downloaded from the an accession list (eg. bc/ in the list it says GCA_XYZ.1 and the record is GCA_XYZ.2)?
