Retrieve available metagenomes from NCBI Genbank.
NCBI Genbank allows users to download entire metagenomes of several
metagenome projects. This function downloads available metagenomes that can
then be downloaded via getMetaGenomes
.
getMetaGenomes(name, path = file.path("_ncbi_downloads", "metagenome"))
metagenome name retrieved by listMetaGenomes
.
a character string specifying the location (a folder) in
which the corresponding metagenome shall be stored.
Default is path
= file.path("_ncbi_downloads","metagenome")
.
if (FALSE) {
# Frist, retrieve a list of available metagenomes
listMetaGenomes()
# Now, retrieve the 'human gut metagenome'
getMetaGenomes(name = "human gut metagenome")
}
