How to download and setup a genome for EMBOSS - (Mar/24/2006 )

Hi

Any one has used EMBOSS?

How can I download a Genome or database and intall in EMBOSS?

I have used EMBOSS on both Linux and Windows. It is a suite of programs that operate on sequence files.

You do not install your sequence file, you tell the programs to operate on it.

It depends upon what you wish to do... you can setup various databases which you can abuse in various ways using the EMBOSS tools (as HomeBrew says).... the best thing to do is have a look in the EMBOSS home site or search google for the EMBOSS admin guide.

Both of these resources will tell you how to setup various databases and so on
