How to have a library of nucleic acid sequences without going on NCBI every time ?

Without knowing the full context of this question here are some general suggestions.
You could keep blast indexes for "nt"(since you asked for nucleic acids) database handy and extract sequences you need using blastdbcmd utility.
You could also use e-utils from NCBI and fetch data you need (but this can count indirectly as "going on NCBI").Last edited by GenoMax; 12-01-2015, 05:59 PM. -
I wanna check for homology between sequences based on accession numbers and be able to see alignment without going to different websites. Would that be possible with an already made program ?Comment

You are going to have to visit some websites ....
If you are working with eukaryotic genes NCBI may have already done the work for you in their homologene project in terms of multiple sequence alignments. Ensembl and UCSC also have similar results available.
On prokaryotic side you can check this site: http://mbgd.genome.ad.jp/
If you only have accession numbers then you may need to do some alignments yourself.Comment

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
