It is fixed in the next release. The cause is a cut site which goes past the start/end of the sequence. The fix involved restructuring the pattern matching code to hold more information, and there are too many dependencies, I think, to build a patchfile from the current code. For this and some other recent fixes we may make a new release quite soon.

Yes. Tested and known to work in 2.9.0 - probably worked in earlier releases, but not for all variations. You can also include everything and use a list for the exclude value. > Also are there any plans to roll entret and seqret into one Tricky. Entret specifically reports the original text. seqret parses it, uses it, and reports what it can in the output format. Yes, seqret shoould parse out and retain more information (no doubt you have noticed that the -feat option does retain the feature table). I will take a look at how much of EMBL, GenBank and SwissProt formats can be preserved. But we will still need entret. > Oh and any news about the new indexing?

Best not to take that as being definitive. The good news is that the KW/DE/OS/OC was finished yesterday. The bad news is that it hasn't been tested yet. The ID/AC/SV code has been ready for some time but not incorporated. Delays have been rather unavoidable and unpredictable given the funding circumstances; they may well continue in that fashion until matters are resolved. The next EMBOSS release (2.10.0) may happen soon. That release will sort out issues to do with alignments, Jemboss (Java 1.5) etc. The indexing code cannot be incorporated in that timescale.

InsightII is a commercial molecular modeling program by Acclerys so it is not freely available. However, if you have InsightII and EMBOSS installed to your machine and you wish to test the EMBOSS interface, please feel free to download the scripts from URL: http://www.csc.fi/chem/progs/insightII_csc.phtml.en#EMBOSS The insight_EMBOSS.tar file, which you can download from the URL above, contains a README that describes the installation process. In the best case all you need to do is to set up your insightII environment and run an installation script. When the scripts are installed, an EMBOSS menu will appear to your Homology module menu list. Note that you can apply EMBOSS commands only to those sequences that have been read in into the sequence window of insightII. The only exception to this is seqret, which you can use to read sequences to the sequence window. The results can be used to create plots, color residue regions or to define atom subsets. The InsightII EMBOSS interface is focused to those EMBOSS tools, that do not have a counterpart in InsightII. The homology modeling module of insightII includes for example sequence alignment tools and thus programs like needle or water are not included. At the moment interface scripts are available for following EMBOSS programs: antigenic charge digest dotmatcher fuzzpro helixturnhelix hmoment iep infoalign octanol patmatmotifs pepinfo pepnet pepstats pepwheel plotcon polydot prettyplot seqret sigcleave tmap Any comments and suggestions about the interface are welcome but please remember that the scripts are not produced by any official programming project. They are just a kind of side product of a research project.

Although this is all pretty straightforward, I have not been able to find an open source tool with which to do this and am thinking about reinventing this wheel. So I wonder: 1) Does anyone know of an open source ramachandran plotter? 2) If not, is there an EMBOSS graphics program which might lend itself to be adapted to this? I know something about programming nongraphical applications in EMBOSS thanks to the course given by Alan and Jon and subsequent experiments, but not too much about the graphical capabilities. I was thinking of using code as described here alpha2.bmc.uu.se/gerard/rama/ramarev.html to define the ramachandran core areas and then a simple graphics routine to plot the psi/phi pairs from my own datamining expedition as simple points onto the plot.

It is fixed in the next release. The cause is a cut site which goes past the start/end of the sequence. The fix involved restructuring the pattern matching code to hold more information, and there are too many dependencies, I think, to build a patchfile from the current code. For this and some other recent fixes we may make a new release quite soon.

Yes. Tested and known to work in 2.9.0 - probably worked in earlier releases, but not for all variations. You can also include everything and use a list for the exclude value. > Also are there any plans to roll entret and seqret into one Tricky. Entret specifically reports the original text. seqret parses it, uses it, and reports what it can in the output format. Yes, seqret shoould parse out and retain more information (no doubt you have noticed that the -feat option does retain the feature table). I will take a look at how much of EMBL, GenBank and SwissProt formats can be preserved. But we will still need entret. > Oh and any news about the new indexing?

Best not to take that as being definitive. The good news is that the KW/DE/OS/OC was finished yesterday. The bad news is that it hasn't been tested yet. The ID/AC/SV code has been ready for some time but not incorporated. Delays have been rather unavoidable and unpredictable given the funding circumstances; they may well continue in that fashion until matters are resolved. The next EMBOSS release (2.10.0) may happen soon. That release will sort out issues to do with alignments, Jemboss (Java 1.5) etc. The indexing code cannot be incorporated in that timescale.

InsightII is a commercial molecular modeling program by Acclerys so it is not freely available. However, if you have InsightII and EMBOSS installed to your machine and you wish to test the EMBOSS interface, please feel free to download the scripts from URL: http://www.csc.fi/chem/progs/insightII_csc.phtml.en#EMBOSS The insight_EMBOSS.tar file, which you can download from the URL above, contains a README that describes the installation process. In the best case all you need to do is to set up your insightII environment and run an installation script. When the scripts are installed, an EMBOSS menu will appear to your Homology module menu list. Note that you can apply EMBOSS commands only to those sequences that have been read in into the sequence window of insightII. The only exception to this is seqret, which you can use to read sequences to the sequence window. The results can be used to create plots, color residue regions or to define atom subsets. The InsightII EMBOSS interface is focused to those EMBOSS tools, that do not have a counterpart in InsightII. The homology modeling module of insightII includes for example sequence alignment tools and thus programs like needle or water are not included. At the moment interface scripts are available for following EMBOSS programs: antigenic charge digest dotmatcher fuzzpro helixturnhelix hmoment iep infoalign octanol patmatmotifs pepinfo pepnet pepstats pepwheel plotcon polydot prettyplot seqret sigcleave tmap Any comments and suggestions about the interface are welcome but please remember that the scripts are not produced by any official programming project. They are just a kind of side product of a research project.

Although this is all pretty straightforward, I have not been able to find an open source tool with which to do this and am thinking about reinventing this wheel. So I wonder: 1) Does anyone know of an open source ramachandran plotter? 2) If not, is there an EMBOSS graphics program which might lend itself to be adapted to this? I know something about programming nongraphical applications in EMBOSS thanks to the course given by Alan and Jon and subsequent experiments, but not too much about the graphical capabilities. I was thinking of using code as described here alpha2.bmc.uu.se/gerard/rama/ramarev.html to define the ramachandran core areas and then a simple graphics routine to plot the psi/phi pairs from my own datamining expedition as simple points onto the plot.
