Thank you, including Duleep and David Lapointe for the prompt responses and for describing it in complete detail. I got what I couldn't find going through REBASE website and looking into EMBOSS' web pages. Excuse me for my ignorance, where can I find a manual or a good documentation on the EMBOSS package.

Download the withrefm.xxx and proto.xxx files (xxx stands for the version number, just take the latest that's there) Run rebaseextract -infile withrefm.xxx -protofile proto.xxx This reformats the neb files for use with emboss.

I'm not sure about the whole genome but I have used it for individual chromosomes without problems. > 3. What program can give me the list of all possible fragments > generated as well?

Hope this helps, David. ________________________________ Email Disclaimer: www.stjude.org/emaildisclaimer _______________________________________________ EMBOSS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/emboss
