You need a FTP
program to transfer files between your PC and GCG.
The sequence
file must be in “plain text” format.
chopup: converts a
non-GCG format sequence file containing lines longer than 511 characters and
as long as 32,000 characterters into a new file containing no longer than 50
characters.
breakup: reads a non-GCG
format sequence file containing more than 350,000 sequence characterters and
writes it as a set of separate, shorter, overlapping sequence files than can
be analyzed by GCG.
reformat: rewrites sequence
files, scoring matrix files, or enzyme data files so than they can be read by
GCG programs.
fromfasta: reformats one or more sequences from FastA format
into single sequence files in GCG format.
