EMBL sequence format

The EMBL flat format is a format for storing sequences and their associated meta-information, feature coordinates, and annotations.

One sequence entry starts with an identifier line ("ID"), followed by further annotation lines. The start of the sequence is marked by a line starting with "SQ" and the end of the sequence is marked by two slashes ("//").
