All EMBOSS programs read sequences from files, or from databases (local or remote). You can put the sequence in a file, in fasta format, and give the filename to any EMBOSS program as input. Sequences are "input parameters" so simply putting the filename on the command line is enough. EMBOSS will look in the current directory, but you can give the full or relative file path just like any Unix command. This assumes of course that you are running EMBOSS locally, not through a web interface (in that case, simply paste a FASTA format sequence into the text box). Hope that helps Peter _______________________________________________ EMBOSS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/emboss
