\fBPsequin\fP is a program designed to aid in the submission of
22
sequences to the GenBank, EMBL, and DDBJ sequence databases. It was
23
written at the National Center for Biotechnology Information, part of
24
the National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health.
26
\fBPsequin\fP can assemble the essential elements of a GenBank record
27
from simple FASTA-format text files. For example, the program obtains
28
the proper genetic code from an organism name, and automatically
29
determines coding region intervals by back-translation from the
30
protein sequence. An on-line help window scrolls to the appropriate
31
place as the user moves between and within data entry forms, giving
32
relevant details on what information is expected.
34
\fBPsequin\fP also contains a number of built-in validation functions
35
for quality assurance. Features such as splice sites and coding region
36
translations are checked for accuracy or internal
37
consistency. Double-clicking on an error message launches an
38
appropriate editor by which the user can correct any problems.
40
\fBPsequin\fP provides live, clickable views of the data in a variety
41
of formats, including a report form, GenBank flatfile, EMBL flatfile,
42
and a graphical view. Double clicking on an item in any of these
43
formats launches an editor for that item. The editor is capable of
44
maintaining correct feature table positions as the underlying sequence
45
is edited. It can display features on the sequence during editing, and
46
allows feature intervals to be adjusted by direct manipulation.
