## DESCRIPTION

**newseq** is a command line program from EMBOSS (“the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite”). It is part of the "Edit" command group(s).

## OPTIONS

### Input section

- **-name** *string*

  The name of of the sequence should be a single word that you will use to identify the sequence. It should have no (or few) punctuation characters in it.

- **-description** *string*

  Enter any description of the sequence that you require.

- **-type** *list*

The keyboard will beep at you when you have reached this limit and you will not be able to press the RETURN/ENTER key until you have deleted a few characters.
