This is an irobot for homologene download:  
http://irobotsoft.com/robots/homologene.irb
 
It search for HomoloGenes from a list of input genes,
and save the results in an XML file 'homologene.txt'.
 
Need to install the iRobot system (http://irobotsoft.com/download.htm)
 
It includes:  
 
*Go to URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=homologene
Go to the NCBI Web site
 
*Submit form with 'HomoloGene-Input'
Search for HomoloGenes from a list of input genes;
User can change input genes by:
(1) right-click on the form action,
(2) select "Form Inputs -> From Database ..." from the popup menu;
(3) click on the "New" link on the right of the datasource;
(4) click on the "Input Text" radio;
(5) change the list of input genes;
(6) click "done".
A variable 'InputGene' is assigned in the event.
 
*Get a list of links like 'HomoloGene:68420. Ge$'
Extract search results
 
*Get a table of data include 'H.sapiens VPS26A'
All HomoloGenes are saved in an XML file.
