Hi, Those who use the NCBI BLAST web site recognize the "Choose Search Set" box. After you select OTHER database and you type - in the Organism edit field - an organism name, similar organism names are listed (autocomplete feature). For example type "Bos t"

http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?PROGRAM=blastn&BLAST_PROGRAMS=megaBlast&PAGE_TYPE=BlastSearch&SHOW_DEFAULTS=on&LINK_LOC=blasthome

Does somebody know which (Entrez?) database are queried and/or parameters used to list the autocompleted names? Sample code maybe?

Cheers
