The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.
Currently we support two formats for uploading your files:
- FASTA
- GenBank
For a detailed description of the FASTA format visit here. For a detailes description of the GenBank format visit here.
If you believe you have uploaded a valid format, please check for these common problems:
- You may not upload Word documents, StarOffice documents or the like. The meta information stored by word processors creates an invalid format. Only plain text delivers a valid format.
- Your files must contain valid headers, in the case of FASTA, this is the > character, followed by the unique identifier of the sequence, optionally followed by a space and a description. For GenBank, the first line of the file must start with the word LOCUS.
