Method: Bio::Fetch#databases

Defined in:
lib/bio/io/fetch.rb

#databases ⇒ Object

Using this method, the user can ask a dbfetch server what databases it supports. This would normally be the first step you’d take when you use a dbfetch server for the first time. Example:

server = Bio::Fetch.new()
puts server.databases # returns "aa aax bl cpd dgenes dr ec eg emb ..."

This method only works for the bioruby dbfetch server. For a list of databases available from the EBI, see the EBI website at www.ebi.ac.uk/cgi-bin/dbfetch/

Returns

array of database names
