I have 7000 genes and their proteins as well as the genome of a bacteria am working on, I want to convert these files into either genebank format or embl, my problem is I don't have any scripting skills, I tried using an online tool (http://genome.nci.nih.gov/tools/reformat.html) but its out put appears to lack some information.

Does any one know a tool or a way I can convert these sequences?
<p>No need to develop tools to do this. Many are publicly available for such a common task.</p>

<p>The standard for many years has been Emboss&#39; SeqRet. An online version is <a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/sfc/emboss_seqret">here</a>, but I would consider installing the suite if this is something you need to do often. The command line version is as simple as seqret &lt;in&gt; &lt;out&gt;. Wrap it in a loop.</p>

<p>BioPython&#39;s <a href="http://biopython.org/wiki/SeqIO">SeqIO module</a> can also do this, albeit with a bit more (basic) programming. I&#39;m sure there are equivalents in BioPerl, BioRuby, and via Bioconductor for R.</p>

<p>This kind of task is <strong>day one</strong> bioinformatics, and the skills required are easy to learn and very straightforward. It&#39;s as simple as navigating to a folder and running a program, possibly within the simplest of loops depending on how your data is organized. You are already converting 7000 sequences; it would make sense that you learn about the plethora of resources available to you developed over the past couple decades. You&#39;ll also save a ton of time in the future!</p>
