You need a database you can search by gene name. If the database has access through a website you can use the URL access method ... providing a URL that returns with the sequence in a format that EMBOSS can read. For UniProt: DB uniprotgene [ type: "protein" format: "swiss" methodquery: "url" url: "http://srs.ebi.ac.uk/srs7bin/cgi-bin/wgetz?-e+[uniprot-gen:%s]+-ascii" ] (the URL should be all in one line) We will have other ways to do this in EMBOSS 6.4.0 when we enable gen and other database search fields. > This is the output of whichdb: > > *$ whichdb BCL2L10 -debug > Search all sequence databases for an entry and retrieve it > Output file [outfile.whichdb]: stdout > Warning: Cannot open division file '' for database 'tsw' > Warning: seqCdQry failed > Warning: Cannot open division file '' for database 'emblnew' > Warning: seqCdQry failed > Warning: Cannot open division file '' for database 'trembl' > Warning: seqCdQry failed > Warning: Cannot open division file '' for database 'nbrf' > > EMBOSS An error in ajseqdb.c at line 5350: > seqCdQryOpen failed* You need to fix or comment out the tsw, emblnew, trembl and nbrf databases to avoid those messages. whichdb tries all sequence databases and is a good way to catch database that are not working (servers down, data or index files not in the expected directory) Hope this helps Peter From a.bruselles at gmail.com Fri Apr 8 08:03:13 2011 From: a.bruselles at gmail.com (Alessandro Bruselles) Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2011 14:03:13 +0200 Subject: [EMBOSS] db records retrieve In-Reply-To: <4D9EEBD4.8020802@ebi.ac.uk> References: <4D9EEBD4.8020802@ebi.ac.uk> Message-ID: > > You need to fix or comment out the tsw, emblnew, trembl and nbrf databases > to avoid those messages. whichdb tries all sequence databases and is a good > way to catch database that are not working (servers down, data or index > files not in the expected directory) > after commenting those db i get the following: $: whichdb BCL2L10 Search all sequence databases for an entry and retrieve it Output file [outfile.whichdb]: stdout Warning: Cannot open division file '' for database 'em' Warning: seqCdQry failed Warning: Cannot open division file '' for database 'sw' Warning: seqCdQry failed Warning: Cannot open division file '' for database 'trhuman' Warning: seqCdQry failed Warning: Cannot open division file '' for database 'human' Warning: seqCdQry failed Warning: Cannot open division file '' for database 'tremblnew' Warning: seqCdQry failed Warning: Cannot open division file '' for database 'swissprot' Warning: seqCdQry failed Warning: Cannot open division file '' for database 'embl' Warning: seqCdQry failed Warning: Cannot open division file '' for database 'pir' EMBOSS An error in ajseqdb.c at line 5350: seqCdQryOpen failed From dvortsov at img.ras.ru Wed Apr 13 07:41:52 2011 From: dvortsov at img.ras.ru (Igor Dvortsov) Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2011 15:41:52 +0400 Subject: [EMBOSS] emboss+cygwin Message-ID: <4DA58C00.1020703@img.ras.ru> Hello, I'm just trying to install emboss with cygwin on windows 7 and failed. latest cygwin release (base,devel packages only) and stable emboss 6.3.1 complation step normal, seems as everything is built. make install - failed, moving all *.dll and *.exe to /usr/local/bin by hands result - no any response from any program b.e., stretcher.exe -help - just terminating without any output. so, the question - what to do?
