如何在NCBI Search＆Blast中使用NCBI API密钥

从版本11.1开始，Geneious Prime将支持使用NCBI API密钥来访问NCBI服务。  An API key enables more requests per second to NCBI, meaning users with a key may in some cases be able to run searches on NCBI databases more quickly, and get faster batch downloads.  

NCBI于2018年12月1日启用了此功能。 

要获取API密钥，您需要一个NCBI帐户 。  Once you have registered your account, go into your account settings by clicking your user name, and then request your key under "API KeyManagement".  

To use the key in Geneious, go to Tools - Preferences - NCBI and enter the key, ensuring there are no spaces, then click OK.  

然后，当您通过BLAST或NCBI搜索服务搜索NCBI数据库时，Geneious Prime将自动使用此功能。
