Hi Jean The short answer is, by adding extra fields, all programs that read sequence(s) would benefit from increased flexibility in how sequences may be specified on the command-line.
You can read about how to specify sequences using the Uniform Sequence Address (USA) model here: http://emboss.sourceforge.net/docs/themes/UniformSequenceAddress.html (look under "The Full USA syntax") If any applications absolutely required certain indexing then that would be mentioned in the application documentation, accessible via: http://emboss.sourceforge.net/apps/ Cheers Jon > Hello, > > I need to index swissprot data file from uniprot.org.
