Mock Genomes NCBI Download

Usage mock_ncbi_down.py [-h] -d DIRECTORY_DOWNLOAD -c {archaea,bacteria,fungi,protozoa,viral}

• -d/--directory_download -> Directory where the files will be saved
• -c/--databases -> Databases to be downloaded
• -r -> Sets program to only download from RefSeq

This script randomly selects genomes from RefSeq and Genbank based on the following criteria:

1. RefSeq

• It is a Complete Genome;
• It has not already been downloaded.

2. GenBank

• It is a Complete Genome;
• Its specie is not on RefSeq;
• It was not rejected from RefSeq;
• It has not already been downloaded;

It's gonna be downloaded the following number of genomes:

	RefSeq	Genbank
Archaea	15	2 *
Bacteria	15	5
Fungi	5	5
Protozoa	2	2
viral	10	10

Due to due to there being only 2 genomes in the Genbank Archaea database which fell in those categories, the number of downloads was set to it.
