Given a GenBank Accession number, getSEQ queries the NCBI database for the nucleotide sequence.

1 2	getGI(accNum) getSEQ(gi)

`accNum`	`accNum` a character string for a GenBank Accession number (i.e. M22490)
`gi`	`gi` a character string or numeric numbers for a GenBank accession number or gi number. A gi number is a series of digits that are assigned consecutively to each sequence record processed by NCBI

The NCBI database is queried for the given GenBank Accession number to obtain the nucleotide sequence in FASTA format. The leading identification line of the sequence data is then dropped to return only the nucleotide sequence.

getGI returns the gi number corresponding to a given GenBank accession number.

getSEQ returns a character string of nucleotide sequence
