question about sequence weights

[Peter Rice]

Dear Guy,

Was this ever used outside of SeqLab?

EMBOSS does have weights internally. It should be relatively simple to add
them to list files somehow, and even to store them in other sequence
formats (apart from MSF).

At present, you need MSF input to get the weights into EMBOSS. That is the
only sequence format that explicitly has them (so you can use seqret to
convert your list to an MSF file, and edit the weights there)

regards,

Peter
