ASN2GB(1)

NAME
asn2gb - convert ASN.1 biological data to a GenBank-style flat format

SYNOPSIS
asn2gb [-] [-A accession] [-F] [-a asn-type] [-b] [-c] [-d] [-f format] [-g N] [-h N] [-i filename] [-j N] [-k N] [-l filename] [-m mode] [-n filename] [-o filename] [-p] [-q filename] [-r] [-s style] [-t N] [-u N] [-y N]

DESCRIPTION
asn2gb converts descriptions of biological sequences from NCBI's ASN.1 format to one of several flat-file formats, and is the successor to asn2ff(1).

OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below.

-   Print usage message

-A accession
    Accession to fetch; may take the form accession,complexity,flags where complexity should normally be 0 and a flags value of -1 enables fetching of external features (as with the legacy -F option)

-F  Fetch remote annotations (equivalent to specifying -A accession,0,-1)

    ASN.1 Type:
    [Single record]
    a   Any (autodetected; default)
    e   seq-Entry
    b   Bioseq
    s   bioseq-Set
    m   seq-subMit
    q   Catenated
    [Release file; components individually processed and freed]
    t   baTch bioseq-set
    u   batch seq-sUbmit

-b  Input file is binary

-c  Batch file is compressed

-d  Seq-loc minus strand

    q   nucleotide GBSet (XML)
    r   protein GBSet (XML)
    t   Feature table only
    x   nucleotide INSDSet (XML)

-o filename
    Output file name (default = stdout)

-p  Propagate top descriptors
