I am writing a program that must parse the CDS fields of GenBank and EMBL
entries. Are official descriptions of the GenBank and EMBL formats
available?
For example, I need to know what the format is when complement() and
join() are used. Is the order "complement(join(1..10,20..40))" or
"join(complement(1..10),complement(20..40))"?
(I guess I'm slow, but I just discovered that the format of EMBL entries
has changed completely. This probably broke everyone's software -- I
know it will break some of my programs.)
