A short script for searching in Uniprot using RESTful APIs of the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI).
Make sure to have the Biostrings package installed.
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("Biostrings")
For the future, I might try to improve the functionality of the searchEBI function, by accepting extra options, filters and other criteria to generate the final URLs. Filter by Reviewed/Unreviewed, Entry name, length, orgranism, etc must be added in the future. I might code a similar program to retrieve pdb files from Protein Data Bank (PDB).
As always, I have put the Expected_Results folder which contains the files that the R script generates once you run it.
NOTE: Make sure to edit setwd command in the R script to point at your desired directory.
