Hello,
See the manual for the "gilist" command. You supply a file of gi numbers
corresponding to the sequences you want. Create that file by searching the
NCBI Protein database with the query, humanorganism) NOT gbdiv
patproperties, then use the 'Send' menu to save that file in GI List
format.
Best regards,
Wayne
