Plasmid Entry Form Files

    Description:  Plasmid Form
    
        This program presents user with a data entry form for entering
        plasmid information.  Initial setup of this software was created for
        the use in the BGME lab to aid in creating plasmid sequence submission
        forms.

        The DNA sequence can either be entered manually by the user, or read in
        directly from a FASTA-formatted file.  Once loaded, the DNA sequence is
        analyzed to determine the segment of interest based on the background
        protein selected by the user.  Afterwards, the DNA sequence is
        converted to protein sequence and aligned onto the reference sequence,
        as selected by the user.  The form needs to be filled out completely
        for the program to generate

    Usage:
    
        This program is run by executing plasmidForm.py in python.  User must
        then enter all of the information relating to the plasmid as well as
        its DNA sequence.  The sequence can either be entered manually or read
        directly from a file by clicking on 'Load sequence file' button.  When
        all of the information is entered, click on 'Generate' button.  This
        will prompt user to enter or select the output file.  If any of the
        appropriate information is missing from the form, an error message is
        given that displays the entry that lacks data.  Multiple files can
        be generated while the form is open.  To exit the form, click on
        'Close' button.
