NAME

       Psequin - submit sequences to Genbank, EMBL, and DDBJ

SYNOPSIS

       Psequin [-b] [-bse] [-e] [-f filename] [-gc] [-h] [-oldaln] [-oldasn] [-oldgph] [-oldseq] [-oldsource] [-s] [-w] [-x]

DESCRIPTION

       Psequin	is  a  program designed to aid in the submission of sequences to the GenBank, EMBL, and DDBJ sequence databases. It was written at
       the National Center for Biotechnology Information, part of the National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health.

       Psequin can assemble the essential elements of a GenBank record from simple FASTA-format text files. For example, the program  obtains  the
       proper  genetic	code  from  an	organism  name,  and automatically determines coding region intervals by back-translation from the protein
       sequence. An on-line help window scrolls to the appropriate place as the user moves between and within data entry  forms,  giving  relevant
       details on what information is expected.

       Psequin	also  contains	a  number  of built-in validation functions for quality assurance. Features such as splice sites and coding region
       translations are checked for accuracy or internal consistency. Double-clicking on an error message launches an appropriate editor by  which
       the user can correct any problems.

       Psequin provides live, clickable views of the data in a variety of formats, including a report form, GenBank flatfile, EMBL flatfile, and a
       graphical view. Double clicking on an item in any of these formats launches an editor for that item. The editor is capable  of  maintaining
       correct	feature  table	positions as the underlying sequence is edited. It can display features on the sequence during editing, and allows
       feature intervals to be adjusted by direct manipulation.
