Hi. Your problem may be because the NCBI has changed the format of GenBank files since Artemis v5 was released. The development version of Artemis fixes this problem: The UNIX, MacOS X and GNU/Linux development version is here: ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/pathogens/software/artemis/builds/artemis_compiled_latest.tar.gz The Windows version is here: ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/pathogens/software/artemis/builds/artemis_compiled_latest.jar Kim.
