[Bioperl-l] indexing nr database

[Sanjib Dutta]

Hi ,
I am trying to index the nr database (which I downloaded from the ncbi website in Fasta format) from the blast website using Bio::Index::Fasta and its making two files nr.pag and nr.dir which are in some strange format. Can anybody please tell me if there is a way to deal with this? Finally I want to get several protein sequences for feeding into ClustalW using the gi identification, and I need an index file for that.
Thanks a lot
Sanjib
