• This tool takes aligned sequence files and reformats them to match the format used in the nomenclature reports.

• The tool does not perform any kind of sequence alignment so unaligned files should not be used.

• The individual sequences must align to the first sequences which will be used as the reference sequences in all outputs.

• The tool automatically provides a protein translation and alignment.

The following file formats are accepted FASTA, CLUSTAL and text alignments.

• Example FASTA File:

  >SEQUENCE 1
  GATAGATAGATA
  >SEQUENCE 2
  GTAGCTGTAGTG

• Example CLUSTAL File:

  CLUSTAL
  SEQUENCE1 GATAGATAGATA
  SEQUENCE2 GTAGCTGTAGTG
