GenomeSlicer can return targeted coding sequences (genes), variable regions upstream or downstream of genes, as well as sub-sequences specified by a given 5' coordinate and 3' coordinate. GenomeSlicer can generate output in both multi-fasta and spreadsheet formats. As of version 1.0, GenomeSlicer only fully supports prokaryote sequences, however some of the functionality in GenomeSlicer 1.0 can be applied to eukaryotic sequences as well.
