Hi, if you have one sequence and lots of annotation files you can just concatenate the files (but put the sequence at the end). If you have many sequences with corresponding annotation in EMBL format, you might want to try our old, ugly and temperamental Perl script (embl_join.pl) to join the files. The script is here: ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/pathogens/software/artemis/extra/embl_join.pl You will need to install these Perl modules to use the script: ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/pathogens/software/artemis/extra/embl_classes.tar.gz Run the script like this: embl_join.pl embl_file_1 embl_file_2 embl_file_3 > output_file (You can put any number of EMBL files on the command line.) The script will attempt to find overlaps between the sequences and adjust the annotation accordingly. Please let me know if you need any help, Kim.
