and I downloaded the DNA file - but it appears to be a monolithic
file with very little info. The GFF files are a bit of overkill - plus a
couple are missing.
I was wondering if there are files with just the common name
and the DNA sequence per protein - or do I have to parse the
GFF?
Are you trying to grab the DNA sequence for every single gene? Do you actually just need the sequences of a few genes? I would suggest looking at WormMart on WormBase. It’s a great tool and can be used for your purpose.
