Convert a UCSC twoBit sequence file to EMBL.
About this conversion
The converter reads records in the input format and writes them in the output format. Data that the output format cannot store may be lost. The notes under the Convert file button list the important limits for this pair.
Run it with Biopython
For batch work, you can use Biopython's SeqIO.convert function. This input format always holds DNA but does not record it, so the molecule type is set explicitly.
from Bio import SeqIO
count = SeqIO.convert("input.twobit", "twobit",
"output.embl", "embl",
molecule_type="DNA")
print("Converted %i records" % count)Sample input file: UCSC twoBit
UCSC twoBit is a binary format, so it cannot be shown as text. Download the sample file to try the converter.

Samples are small illustrative files. Some come from the Biopython test suite (see the project's sample notes); they are not real study data.
