[EMBOSS] Databases

[David Bauer]

Hi Ahmed,

There is a documentation about the setup of databases in EMBOSS at
http://emboss.sourceforge.net/docs/themes/Databases.html

This is a little bit outdated now because it does not cover all features available in Version 6.4 but it is still a good starting point.

If you want to dive deeply into the EMBOSS administration, there is a book written by the EMBOSS team available from Cambridge University Press:

HTH,
David.

Betreff: [EMBOSS] Databases

I have recently installed EMBOSS-6.4.0 (Ubuntu 11.10).
I am unable to make it work directly with live databases (embl, uniprot) ,
working totally fine with local sequence files.
e.g

% *plotorf  *
Plot potential open reading frames in a nucleotide sequence
Input nucleotide sequence: *embl:x13776*

*Error:* Failed to open filename 'embl'**

Used 'showdb' , displayed table with zero rows.

Is there any configuration, i am missing??

Thanks
Ahmed
