Convert SnapGene DNA files to SBOL #99

Open cjmyers opened 6 years ago

In order to support SnapGene DNA file conversion to SBOL, the uploaded file needs to be saved locally with a ".dna" extension. Right now, all files get saved with a ".sbol" extension. The conversion utility in libSBOLj currently is only able to identity SnapGene DNA files from their file extension.

Is this all that has to happen? The file just has to be saved with a .dna extension? How can I tell if I've been given a SnapGene file?

Yes, currently I have no other way to know a file is a dna file than by its file extension. So, if you receive a file with extension .dna then if you preserve the extension, then it will convert it.
