What is the file format for uploading untrimmed sequences?
Untrimmed sequences can be imported using the NCBI FASTA format. Each read starts with ‘>’ and the read ID is between the ‘>’ and the first ‘|’ (a ‘pipe’ symbol) and cannot contain any special characters other than dash ‘-’ or underscore ‘_’. If there is any other information on the definition line, it must be after the first ‘|’. The whole definition line is separated from the sequence data by a return or linefeed.
