Converting Between Sequence Formats

1406
A “sequence format” is a punctuation style, or defined layout of text, within a computer file that separates a sequence from everything else. It allows computer programs that “understand” the format to distinguish between the sequence and any reference documentation also in the file. Some format definitions extend to the documentation itself (i.e., most database formats), allowing some software to locate specific reference information (e.g., authors, journals, species classification, coding regions).
