[EMBOSS] sequence retrieval

[Daniel Barker]

Dear Jay,

Are you simply trying to extract specific sequences from a Fasta-format
file? The EMBOSS program to do it is seqret, or maybe seqretsplit:

http://emboss.sourceforge.net/apps/release/5.0/emboss/apps/seqret.html

http://emboss.sourceforge.net/apps/release/5.0/emboss/apps/seqretsplit.html

As Peter Rice suggests, you can do stuff to speed the access up, but
it'll work without that.

Best regards,

Daniel
