Yes, EMBOSS is case-insensitive. So is the Staden/EMBLCD indexing standard that dbifasta uses. The standard also only allows one entry with each ID. dbxfasta uses a new indexing format and can index both entries, but will still assume the names are the same (a search for 1FNT_A or 1FNT_a wil return both entries). Allowing indexing to be case-sensitive is possible in future, but can slow down searches. We will investigate. Hope that helps, Peter _______________________________________________ EMBOSS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/emboss
