[EMBOSS] recursive backtranslate

[Andres Pinzon]

Hi all,
thank you for your answers,
Just in case anyone could need it, this is a small bash script which
does the job:
==============
#!/bin/bash

LIST=`ls *.fasta`
for i in $LIST
do
        backtranseq -sequence $i -auto
done

============
First run seqretsplit on your multiple fasta file,  and run this
script from  the directory where your fasta files were stored.

Best,
