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
