What input formats does RAST accept?
• RAST accepts sequence data in multi-sequence FASTA format (.fna), and multi-accession GenBank format (.gbk), uploaded as plain text files containing no special characters. One file should contain the sequences of all contigs and/or replicons. RAST does not yet support other upload formats, such as EMBL, GFF3, GTF, etc. (although it can generate output in these formats). RAST does not currently accept any other input formats, and will also reject any file format that is not plain text, e.g. it will not accept genomes encoded as HTML, PDF, RTF, Microsoft Word, etc.
