Input Guidelines
There are three different methods of submitting your query sequences in PHASTEST:
- Uploaded File
- via GenBank Accession ID
- Pasted Sequence
PHASTEST can accept and process either raw nucleotide sequence data in FASTA format or an annotated genome data in GenBank format. If the input file is in FASTA format, locus tags will be assigned sequentially for each identified CDS. Note that this is one FASTA file for the entire genome. We currently do not support annotated cDNAs in FASTA format. Please use the GenBank format for annotated genome. If the input file is in GenBank format, it must provide at least the CDS feature and the "/gene", "/locus_tag" and "/translation" tags inside the CDS features.
Raw Nucleotide Sequence Data Format
Example #1: This is an example of a generic FASTA file. The entire file contains more than 5M nucleotides, and only the top portion is shown here. The header is not important for PHASTER processing, though it will be displayed as the title of the genome. If no header is provided, an arbitrary header will be created. The input header must be placed on the first line. The DNA sequence must conform to IUPAC coding. A metagenomic file must contain contigs, each with its own header. From this input, only contigs of length >=2000 will be processed. If the metagenomic option is not checked, the first 10 sequences will be processed individually.

Annotated GenBank Format
Example #1: This is an example of of a generic GenBank file. The entire file contains more than 20k lines, and only the header and first a few CDSs are shown here. Only the "LOCUS" and "DEFINITION" tags in the header are used and they are used for only for naming. All annotated genes must be recorded in the "FEATURES" section and associated with the "gene"and "CDS" sub-tags. The "CDS" portion may or may not have "/translation". " ORIGIN" tag and DNAsequence section must be in the file.
