AutoSequin – automatically Annotate Sequences for Bulk Submission to GenBank

AutoSequin

:: DESCRIPTION

AutoSequin is designed to speed up the process of submitting HIV sequences to GenBank via NCBI’s Sequin program. It is ideal for the batch sequence submission. It makes a special formated table required for running NCBI’s tbl2asn program to generate .sqn file for submission to GenBank.

Genbank_to_Fasta 1.1 – Genbank/EMBL to FASTA Conversion Tool

Genbank_to_Fasta 1.1

:: DESCRIPTION

Genbank_to_Fasta is designed to accept a GenBank or EMBL format file, and convert it to a FASTA file. You have control over what kind of sequence gets extracted, and how the header line is written. Select a GenBank or EMBL format file to upload containing a feature table. Select the file format. Choose the delimiter characters that will separate the qualifiers from one another in the header line. Select whether to extract translated amino acid sequences, DNA sequence for each feature, or the entire DNA sequence of the whole record. To choose how your header line appears, designate the names of the qualifiers, one per field, in the order that you want them to appear in the FASTA header line.

Vector NTI Viewer 4.0.1 – Read DNA Sequence Data from GenBank, EMBL or FASTA files

Vector NTI Viewer 4.0.1

:: DESCRIPTION

Vector NTI Viewer, a freeware program, allows scientists to study and analyze biological molecules. It incorporates a small subset of functions from the much more sophisticated Vector NTI Suite software.Vector NTI Viewer can read Vector NTI Molecule Documents, and molecule data from GenBank, EMBL or FASTA files. You may also paste molecule descriptions in one of the above formats from the Clipboard. In addition, the Viewer can read plain nucleotide sequence data form ASCII file or the Clipboard, automatically creating a virtual annotated molecule for that nucleotide sequence.

ORFer 1.3.2.2 – Retrieval of Protein Sequences and Open Reading Frames from GenBank

ORFer 1.3.2.2

:: DESCRIPTION

ORFer (Open Reading Frame Retrieval) reads the NCBI GenBank XML sequence format and extracts open reading frames for proteins. Sequences can be requested by GI or accession number.The open reading frame corresponding to the protein sequences is extracted from the XML and displayed. ORFer has a database interface that allows for storing the retrieved sequences in a local SQL database.
