annonex2embl

Converts an annotated DNA multi-sequence alignment (in NEXUS format) to an EMBL flatfile for submission to ENA via the Webin-CLI submission tool.

INSTALLATION

To get the most recent stable version of annonex2embl, run:

pip install annonex2embl

Or, alternatively, if you want to get the latest development version of annonex2embl, run:

pip install git+https://github.com/michaelgruenstaeudl/annonex2embl.git

INPUT, OUTPUT AND PREREQUISITES

• Input: an annotated DNA multiple sequence alignment in NEXUS format; and a comma-delimited (CSV) metadata table
• Output: a submission-ready, multi-record EMBL flatfile

Requirements / Input preparation

The annotations of a NEXUS file are specified via SETS-block, which is located beneath a DATA-block and defines sets of characters in the DNA alignment. In such a SETS-block, every gene and every exon charset must be accompanied by one CDS charset. Other charsets can be defined unaccompanied.

Example of a complete SETS-BLOCK

BEGIN SETS;
CHARSET matK_gene_forward = 929-2530;
CHARSET matK_CDS_forward = 929-2530;
CHARSET trnK_intron_forward = 1-928 2531-2813;
END;

Examples of corresponding DESCR variable

DESCR="tRNA-Lys (trnK) intron, partial sequence; maturase K (matK) gene, complete sequence"

EXAMPLE USAGE
