NAME

       asn2all - generate reports from ASN.1 biological data

SYNOPSIS

       asn2all [-] [-A acc] [-F filename] [-G] [-J n] [-K n] [-M] [-T] [-X] [-a type] [-b] [-c] [-d path] [-f format] [-h] [-i filename] [-k] [-l]
       [-n policy] [-o filename] [-p path] [-r] [-v filename] [-x ext]

DESCRIPTION

       asn2all is primarily intended for generating reports from the binary ASN.1 Bioseq-set release files  downloaded	from  the  NCBI  ftp  site
       (ncbi-asn1  directory).	 It  can  produce  GenBank  and  GenPept flatfiles, FASTA sequence files, INSDSet structured XML, TinySeq XML, and
       Sequin-style 5-column feature tables.

       The release files (which have the extension .aso.gz) should be uncompressed with gunzip(1), resulting in files  with  the  extension  .aso.
       For example, gbpri1.aso is the first file in the primate division, and the command

	      gunzip gbpri1.aso.gz

       will result in gbpri1.aso being created.  The original gbpri1.aso.gz file is removed after successful decompression.

       In  asn2all,  the name of the file to be processed is specified by the -i command line argument.  Use -a t to indicate that it is a release
       file and -b to indicate that it is binary ASN.1.  A text ASN.1 file obtained from Entrez can be processed by using -a a instead of -a t -b.

       Nucleotide and protein records can be processed simultaneously.	Use the -o argument to indicate the nucleotide output  file,  and  the	-v
       argument for the protein output file.

       The  -f	argument  determines the format to be generated, and is documented in more detail (along with other options) in the following sec-
       tion.

EXAMPLES

       The command

		asn2all -i gbpri1.aso -a t -b -f g -o gbpri1.nuc -v gbpri1.prt

       will generate GenBank and GenPept reports from gbpri1.aso.
