ASN2FSA(1)

💖 ASN2FSA(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the NCBI Tools User's Manual page for asn2fsa — yes that's the manual name, we're starting strong. this one converts biological sequence data from ASN.1 to FASTA. she's a converter. she's iconic. let's go ✨

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

asn2fsa [-] [-A acc] [-D] [-E] [-H] [-L filename] [-T] [-a type] [-b]
[-c] [-d path] [-e N] [-f path] [-g] [-h filename] [-i filename] [-k]
[-l] [-m] [-o filename] [-p path] [-q filename] [-r] [-s] [-u]
[-v filename] [-x str] [-y] [-z]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

asn2fsa converts biological sequence data from ASN.1 to FASTA. that's it, that's the whole thing — no cap, she does one job and she does it well 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

a summary of options is included below. and by "summary" we mean literally every single one, because we do not gatekeep here 🫶

• - — print usage message
• -A acc — accession to fetch
• -D — use Dash for Gap
• -E — Extended Seq-ids
• -H — HTML spans
• -L filename — log file
• -T — use Threads
• -a type — input ASN.1 type:
  • a — Automatic (default)
  • z — Any
  • e — Seq-entry
  • b — Bioseq
  • s — Bioseq-set
  • m — Seq-submit
  • t — batch processing (suitable for official releases; autodetects specific type)
• -b — Bioseq-set is Binary
• -c — Bioseq-set is Compressed
• -d path — path to ReadDB Database
• -e N — line length (70 by default; may range from 10 to 120)
• -f path — path to indexed FASTA data
• -g — expand delta gaps into Ns
• -h filename — Far component cache output file name
• -i filename — single input file (standard input by default)
• -k — local fetching
• -l — lock components in advance
• -m — Master style for near segmented sequences
• -o filename — Nucleotide Output file name
• -p path — path to ASN.1 Files
• -q filename — Quality score output file name
• -r — Remote fetching from NCBI
• -s — Far genomic contig for quality scores
• -u — recurse
• -v filename — Protein output file name
• -x str — File selection substring (.ent by default) [String]
• -y — Debugging
• -z — print quality score gap as -1

note bestie: -e N has rules. 70 by default, and it may range from 10 to 120. don't get cute with it 🙈
