The EMBL-ENA Flat File format
#
The
EMBL (European Molecular Biology Laboratory) Flat File format is a widely used text-based format for storing nucleotide and protein sequence data. It is primarily utilized in the
European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) database for the exchange of biological sequence information including their associated metadata.
Overview
#
The EMBL format is designed to be human-readable and machine-readable, making it suitable for both manual inspection and automated processing. Each flat file contains a sequence record that includes metadata about the sequence, as well as the sequence itself. Each file is composed of a single record or a series of records, separated by a line containing only a // (slash-slash) string.">

<h3 id="header-section">
Header section
<a class="anchor" href="#header-section">#</a>
</h3>
<p>The header section contains essential metadata about the sequence. The following fields are commonly found in this section:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>ID</strong>: A unique identifier for the sequence. This field is mandatory and typically includes the sequence type (<em>e.g.</em>, mRNA, DNA, protein) and its length.</li>
<li><strong>AC</strong>: Accession number(s) associated with the sequence. This field can contain multiple accession numbers separated by semicolons.</li>
<li><strong>DE</strong>: Description of the sequence, providing a brief overview of its biological significance or function.</li>
<li><strong>KW</strong>: Keywords associated with the sequence, which can help in categorizing and searching for the sequence in databases.</li>
<li><strong>OS</strong>: Organism name, indicating the species from which the sequence is derived.</li>
<li><strong>OC</strong>: Organism classification, providing a taxonomic hierarchy (<em>e.g.</em>, domain, kingdom, phylum).</li>
<li><strong>RN</strong>: Reference number for citations, linking the sequence to relevant literature.</li>
<li><strong>RP</strong>: Reference position, indicating the specific positions in the sequence that are referenced.</li>
<li><strong>RA</strong>: Authors of the reference, listing the individuals who contributed to the cited work.</li>
<li><strong>RL</strong>: Reference line, providing the complete citation for the reference.</li>

Feature table section
<a class="anchor" href="#feature-table-section">#</a>
</h3>
<p>The feature table section contains information about the annotations or features of the sequence, such as genes, transcripts, or regions. Each feature is represented by a set of fields splitted over multiple lines. The first line of each feature contains the feature type, such as &ldquo;gene&rdquo;, &ldquo;transcript&rdquo;, or &ldquo;region&rdquo; and its location in the sequence. The subsequent lines contain the feature-specific information, such as the gene name, gene function, cross-references to other databases, or its translation to protein for protein-coding genes.</p>

<p>The sequence section contains the actual nucleotide sequence. This section is formatted to enhance readability and is represented in lines of 60 characters. The sequence letters represent nucleotides (A, T, C, G for DNA; A, U, C, G for RNA).</p>
<p>The sequence section begins with <strong>SQ</strong> in first line and includes metadata about the sequence, such as its length and the count of each nucleotide. The sequence itself follows, formatted in lines of 60 characters for clarity. The number on the right of each of the sequence lines indicates the end position of the line in the sequence.</p>

</h2>
<p>To convert a EMBL flat file to
<a href="http://metabar:8888/obidoc/formats/fasta/">fasta</a>
format, you can use the <a href="http://metabar:8888/obidoc/obitools/obiconvert/">
<abbr title="obiconvert: convert format of a sequence file"><code>obiconvert</code></abbr>
</a> command.
The <a href="http://metabar:8888/obidoc/obitools/obiconvert/">
<abbr title="obiconvert: convert format of a sequence file"><code>obiconvert</code></abbr>
</a> command extracts from the source feature present in each EMBL record the taxid and scientific name associated with the record to store them in the <code>taxid</code> and <code>scientific_name</code> tags within the FASTA header.</p>
