Hi

Didn't see a reply to you.  Anyhow ...


> Are the options -orfminsize in SIXPACK and -minsize in GETORF the same?

Yes (well, they are equivalent).

> Do they both specify "Minimum nucleotide size of ORF to report"?

Yes - we should probably standardise the names of such options.

Without looking at the code I'm not sure.  You might expect slight differences depending on how
exactly an ORF is defined.  They should at least broadly agree.

Cheers

Jon
