in reply to How to retrieve the intergenic sequences and the introns from GenBank page of NCBI?

Have you seen this page (and the other related chapters) at the GenBank website?

In a nutshell, most of what you can download from the JavaScript heavy main search results page, can also be downloaded directly by adding the selection parameters to the appropriate URL, and GETing that url.

It's much easier than automating a js driven webpage.

I don't know if there is a url/parameter set for retrieving the stuff you are after, but it would be worth your time to take a look. They also provide sample Perl code for doing most of the work.

(I used an earlier version for some stuff a few years ago, but it has all change since so I can't be more specific.)
