Introduction to Sequence Analysis
SEQUENCE
INPUT WINDOW
You can cut and paste or type a nucleotide sequence into
the large text window. A free text (raw) nucleotide sequence is simply a block of characters representing a
DNA/RNA sequence. You may also paste a sequence in GCG, FASTA, EMBL, GenBank, PIR, NBRF or Phylip format.
Partially formatted sequences will not be accepted.
Copying and Pasting directly from word processors may
yield unpredictable results as hidden/control characters may be present. Adding a return to the end of the sequence may
help certain applications understand the input. Some examples of common sequence formats may be seen here.
UPLOAD
A FILE
You may upload a file from your computer which containing
a valid nucleotide sequence in any format (GCG, FASTA, EMBL, GenBank, PIR, NBRF or Phylip) using this
option. Please note that this option only works with Netscape Browsers or Internet Explorer version 5 or later.
Some word processors may yield unpredictable results as hidden/control characters may be present in the files. It
is best to save files with the Unix format option to avoid hidden windows characters.
