[BiO BB] how to access database remotely

[Iddo Friedberg]

Regarding GenBank:
Entrez Programming Utilities are tools that provide access to Entrez 
data outside of the regular web query interface and may be helpful for 
retrieving search results for future use in another environment

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/static/eutils_help.html

Access restrictions -- for bandwidth, not for intellectual property 
reasons -- are listed there.
