Input file format

The input is a standard EMBOSS text query.

The major text sources defined as standard in EMBOSS installations are non-standard types on the srs server and databases with a "text" query in the Data Resource Catalogue database DRCAT.

Data can also be read from text output in any supported text format written by an EMBOSS or third-party application. The text format is needed to identify the start and end of a single "entry" within a larger text file.

The input format can be specified by using the command-line qualifier -format xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required format. The available format names are: text, html, xml (uniprotxml), obo, embl (swissprot)

See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/TextFormats.html for further information on text formats.
