seqd File Format

sequence, residue, descriptor,

The seqd file format (extension .seqd) is a format for supplying descriptor information for individual residues along with the residue description. This format allows you to import residue information along with a sequence, and use it for display, annotation, and so on. Apart from the first line, which is the sequence title, the file follows CSV format. The file format description is given below.

• The file must contain comma-separated values, except for the first row, which may contain a single value for the sequence title.
• Column headers are required. The first three column headers must be ResID, Chain, and ResName, in that order. Other columns are assumed to be descriptors.
• The ResID and ResName columns must have values in each row, as they define the residues in the sequence. ResID is the residue number, ResName is the 1- or 3-letter residue name. Chain name values are optional; if missing, residues are assigned to the default chain.
• Descriptor values may be numeric or string. Missing values and "N/A" are not allowed.

A sample seqd file follows:

myNewSequence
ResID,Chain,ResName, Epitope, Time 30s,Time 180s
11,A,E,subdominant,0.229885057,0.229885057
12,A,V,dominant,0.229885057,0.229885057
28,A,Y,subdominant,0.229885057,0.229885057
29,A,S,subdominant, 0.229885057,0.229885057
