Simple NCBI Data Fetching Script

Description::
This script was constructed from the simple scripting example I discussed in the automation article I wrote a while back. This script will take a list of accession numbers from a file, download the associated sequences, and create a FASTA formatted file using the fetched sequence data. This is a great learning script for someone who is new to UNIX shell scripting on OS X.
