[EMBOSS] Data Lib sizes and indexing progs

[Aengus Stewart]

Hi folks,

Just wondering how the new indexing methods were coming on.

Its just I had a look at the most recent EMBL release and its (give or take the odd gig)AND INDEXING PROGS 250Gb which means to have the head room to hold a copy while installing a new copy requires >500Gb.

Any info on how the new indexing will work and will it still have to run off uncompressed .dat files or will it produce its own index format?

Sorry about the questions, its just I am rushing around the filesystem deleting anything that may appear to be "deleteable" to scrounge enough space :-)


Regards
Aengus
