title: SPLICE, a computer program for automated extraction of information from GenBank sequence entries.
abstract: SPLICE, a software tool for the extraction of sequences from files in GenBank tape format, has been developed. The program can analyze the features table in this format and use any of the information provided to write the corresponding sequences into a standard sequence file format suitable for use with sequence analysis programs. Sequences that are present as several subsequent fragments in a single GenBank file, such as those encoding a peptide, can be spliced together by the program. Further, sequences that are present in more than one Genbank file, such as an exon which spans several different files, can also be spliced into one sequence. SPLICE runs under the MS/DOS and Unix operating systems, can be called as a sub-process by other programs and can process batches of files.
