We got forward and reverse sequence file for the samples we have send to Macrogen (Korea) for 16S full rRNA sequencing. The sequencing was performed by using Big Dye terminator cycle sequencing kit (Applied BioSystems, USA). Sequencing products were resolved on an Applied Biosystems model 3730XL automated DNA sequencing system (Applied BioSystems, USA). Universal primers 785F (GGATTAGATACCCTGGTA) and 907R (CCGTCAATTCMTTTRAGTTT) were used for sequencing and another set of universal primers 27F (AGAGTTTGATCMTGGCTCAG) and 1492R (TACGGYTACCTTGTTACGACTT) were used for the amplification.

Now, i want to get accession number for those sequence from NCBI/EMBL/DDBJ. It seems the sequence needs editing as they have provided us two files, forward and reverse sequence result. 

Ques 1 :  How can i merge forward and reverse sequence data and formulate a single full 16S rRNA sequence, edit/trim it and upload to the database so that i can get accession number for adding in our journal ?

Ques 2 : Also, can anyone please tell me how to do cladistic analysis after editing/trimming those sequences ?
