infoseq is a small utility that lists the USA, name, accession number, type (nucleic or protein), length, percentage C+G, and/or description of a sequence.

Display information on a sequence:

% infoseq embl:paamir

Don't display the USA of a sequence:

% infoseq embl:paamir -nousa

Display only the name and length of a sequence:

% infoseq embl:paamir -only -name -length

Display only the description of a sequence:

% infoseq embl:paamir -only -desc

Display the type of a sequence:

% infoseq embl:paamir -only -type

Display information formatted with HTML:

% infoseq embl:paamir -html

Optional qualifiers:

-outfile (outfile)

If you enter the name of a file here, this program will write the sequence details into that file.

Advanced qualifiers:
