[EMBOSS] IDs in output

[Bernd Web]

Hi,

Sometimes I use an EMBOSS command directly on a FastA file.
I wonder if it is possible to select the ID used in the output, esp
for FastA records with an NCBI defline.

>gi|248166|g|AA21972.1| description...

in the output of an EMBOSS command becomes:
AA21972.1|

It would be very easy if the ID could be chosen to be the GI number.
Now the ID used depends on the GI record (sp, pdb, pir) show different
IDs in EMBOSS output.

Is this possible to choose the fixed GI number as record ID?

Regards,
Bernd
