I have this error with whichdb command:

This suggests you have PRINTS defined as a sequence database. Prints is a pattern database and does not need to be defined in emboss.defaults of ~/.embossrc

# Failed 'PRINTS:l07770'

   EMBOSS An error in ajindex.c at line 2429:

and this suggests a problem with the indexing of your emblwgs_hum database. You need to check the status of this database and correct it.

Meanwhile, perhaps we can persuade whichdb to continue checking the remaining databases. You failed to find L07770 because it stopped at this point.

However, it's ok for this ID, because for example,
infoseq or other commands (seqret...) runs correctly, as you can see bellow:
-------------
infoseq genbank:l07770
Display basic information about sequences
USA Database Name Accession Type Length %GC Description genbank-id:XELRHODOP genbank XELRHODOP L07770 N 1684 45.72 Xenopus laevis rhodopsin mRNA, complete cds.

So whichdb will find the entry when it reaches genbank and searched by accession.

I hope this helps. Let us know (mail to [email protected]) if you need help in correcting your databases.

regards,

Peter Rice
