GENE2XML(1)		    NCBI Tools User's Manual		     GENE2XML(1)

NAME
     gene2xml - convert NCBI Entrez Gene ASN.1 into XML

SYNOPSIS
     gene2xml [-] [-b] [-c] [-i filename] [-l] [-o filename] [-p path] [-r path]
     [-t N] [-x] [-y] [-z]

DESCRIPTION
     gene2xml is a stand-alone program that converts Entrez Gene ASN.1 into XML.
     Entrez Gene data are stored as compressed binary Entrezgene-Set ASN.1 files
     on  the NCBI ftp site, and have the suffix .ags.gz.  These are several-fold
     smaller than compressed XML files, resulting in a	significant  savings  of
     disk storage and network bandwidth.  Normal processing by gene2xml produces
     text XML files with the same name but with .xgs as the suffix.

OPTIONS
     A summary of options is included below.

     -	    Print usage message

     -b     File is Binary

     -c     File is Compressed

     -i filename
	    Single Input file (standard input by default) when not using -p

     -l     Log processing (list files processed when using -p)

     -o filename

     -p path
	    Path to Files (if processing an entire directory)

     -r path
	    Path for Results when using -p; defaults to the input directory

     -t N   Limit  to the given Taxon ID (per http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxon-
	    omy/)

     -x     Extract .ags to text .agc (format previously distributed)

     -y     Combine .agc to text .ags (for testing)

     -z     Combine .agc to binary .ags, then gzip
