Can somebody tell me what the file format for an interleaved or sequential
protein multi-sequence file would have to be for Gary Olson's SEQUENCE editor
for VAX/VMS? I have 30 aligned amino acid sequences with some 350 amino acids
each and I want to analyze them with Olson's programs, including the program
Tree. Nowhere in the program documentation can I find a description of Olson
file formats. The public domain program Readseq when asked to convert a
PIR-format file of these sequences into Olson format will strip the PIR file
of everything but the amino acid designations. When such a stripped file
which supposedly is in Olson format, is presented to SEQUENCE, it won't accept
it because of improper format.
