  <p>I know the PubMed database is for publications and citations, but how can I retrieve those records from it? is that even possible?</p>
  <p>I tried to search for the IDs with a given term in it and then retrieve the records from another database (like &quot;<strong>nuccore</strong>&quot;), but I don't know if this is right.</p>
  <p>Any ideas?</p>

  I've been assigned a task to fetch sequence records from "**pubmed**" database:
  
  > fetch 30 record of type "fasta" from (pubmed database, with term hemoglobin AND alpha) as a sequence records
  
  It doesn't make any sense to me!
  
  I know the PubMed database is for publications and citations, but how can I retrieve those records from it? is that even possible?

  Any ideas?
