This example can be adapted to extract relevant annotated features (e.g., specific feature types or all features with specified annotations) for uses such as building BLAST databases or consensus matrices or performing alignments. Script A generates an overlapping CDS (specifically, the yeaC fragment). Using Scripts B or C solves this problem. Scripts B and C produce identical results, but only B also outputs the nucleotide sequence file.

Goal To extract a set of annotated CDS features from a genome as protein sequences
Script A m54sCDS.gbk=extract(m54s.gbk, 'CDS')

m54s_proteins1.fas=translate("m54sCDS.gbk")
Output A LOCUS U00096:yeaA 414 bp DNA 13-JAN-2012
