Entrez API seems unreliable

Sometimes we get the following error:
Search Backend failed: Database is not supported: nuccore
This is when using for example:
extras/soap-tools/getTranscriptsAndInfo.py 'NG_009210.1' ALG9
It might be related to the dbSNP API (also Entrez) being unreliable, for which we already implemented N retries.
