Question

The “from” programs convert sequence files from GCG format into the named format, and the “to” programs convert the alternative format into GCG format.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in an international level competition.

The doubt is from Multiple Sequence Formats & Storage of Information in a Sequence Database topic in section Collecting & Storing Sequences in Laboratory of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) True

The best I can explain: In addition, the GCG programs include the following sequence formatting programs: (1) GETSEQ, which converts a simple ASCII file being received from a remote PC to GCG format; (2) REFORMAT, which will format a GCG file that has been edited, and will also perform other functions; and (3) SPEW, which sends a GCG sequence file as an ASCII file to a remote PC.
