# gbf2facds(1)

convert NCBI GenBank flatfile coding sequences to FASTA

## NAME

gbf2facds - convert NCBI GenBank flatfile coding sequences to FASTA

## SYNOPSIS

**gbf2facds** \[\[**-**\]**nuc**\|\[**-**\]**NUC**\|\[**-**\]**na**\|\[**-**\]**NA**\|\[**-**\]**prt**\|\[**-**\]**PRT**\|\[**-**\]**aa**\|\[**-**\]**AA**\]

## DESCRIPTION

**gbf2facds** reads an NCBI GenBank flatfile from standard input and writes FASTA corresponding to its (optionally translated) coding regions to standard output.

## OPTIONS

- **\[**-**\]**nuc**\|\[**-**\]**NUC**\|\[**-**\]**na**\|\[**-**\]**NA

  Print transcribed nucleotides (default).

- **\[**-**\]**prt**\|\[**-**\]**PRT**\|\[**-**\]**aa**\|\[**-**\]**AA

  Print translated amino acids.
