KABATTOGCG


FUNCTION

KabatToGCG creates GCG data libraries from Kabat distribution files.


DESCRIPTION

KabatToGcg converts the KABAT immunoglobulin protein database into a sequence database in GCG format.

The Kabat nucleotide sequence database is in GenBank format, and can be converted with the GenBankToGcg program in GCG.

OUTPUT

The output from KabatToGcg is a protein sequence database in GCG format.


INPUT FILE

The input for KabatToGcg is the Kabat database KabatP protein sequence distribution files.
