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] [-s db] [-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 section.
