       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.
