将 GenBank ASN.1文件格式转换为XML文本格式

Converting GenBank ASN.1 data file to XML:

1. Obtain GenBank ASN.1 data file at: ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ncbi-asn1/. Here daily-nc directory contains individual files for each day's new or updated entries since close-of-data for the last GenBank Release in ASN.1 format.

Additional documentation:
/ncbi-asn1/README.asn1
/ncbi-asn1/daily-nc/README.asn1.daily-nc

1. Download the appropriate datatool binary for your platform:
   ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/toolbox/ncbi_tools++/BIN/CURRENT/datatool/
2. Download NCBI data specification file:
   https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/data_specs/asn/NCBI_all.asn
3. Run the program:

./datatool -m NCBI_all.asn -d gbest225.aso -t Bioseq-set -px gbest225.xml

Here:

gbest225.aso

is the name of the source GenBank data file in ASN binary format

Bioseq-set

is the name of the data type in the source file

gbest225.xml

is the name of the output file in XML format
