What
input formats does ClustalW accept?
The program accepts sequences in the following formats:
NBRF/PIR, EMBL/UniProt, Pearson (Fasta), GDE,
ALN/ClustalW, GCG/MSF, RSF (see the Clustal help pages for details about
formats).
The sequences can either be pasted into the web form or
uploaded to the web form in a file. It is very important that each of the
sequences has a unique name. If they do not, the program will fail. There must
be no empty lines, white spaces or control characters between sequences or at
the top of the file. This will also cause the program to fail.
