Supported sequence formats

Simplot currently only supports DNA sequence data.  If amino acid sequences are input, similarity plots will work if Hamming distance is chosen.  A future version may support protein sequences more directly.

Based on Don Gilbert's older (Pascal) Readseq code (with some modifications), SimPlot can accept:
  • CLUSTAL
  • EMBL
  • Fasta/Pearson
  • Fitch
  • GCG/Wisconsin
  • GenBank
  • IG/Stanford
  • NBRF
  • Strider
  • Zuker
     
    I have added support for: 
  • GDE flat file
  • MASE
  • MSF
  • Nexus (interleaved and sequential)
  • PHYLIP (interleaved and sequential)
