The following fields have a special meaning in ARB:
name unique name for the gene/annotation
(max 8 characters long; generated by ARB)
pos_begin start position of the gene in the main-sequence
of the organism.
pos_end end position of the gene
Note: pos_begin <= pos_end
positions go from 1 to N
pos_uncertain if either pos_begin or pos_end is uncertain
this field contains a string build from <,>,=
The first character of the field corresponds
to pos_begin, the second character to pos_end.
< means the position may be lower
> -----------"------------- higher
= means: the position is certain
pos_joined If this field exists, it contains a number X>1
In this case the gene is joined from X parts
and it contains further fields pos_begin2,
pos_begin3, ... (up to pos_beginX) containing
the start positions of the other parts. The
same applies to the fields pos_end and
pos_uncertain.
complement if complement is 1, the coding direction of
the gene is from right to left.
Fields relevant for DNA->AminoAcid encoding:
codon_start contains the base inside the gene at which the
first codon starts (valid: 1,2,3)
if this entry is missing 1 is assumed
transl_table the number of the translation table to be used
(1 = Standard, ...)
