-
- Version 3.0 of the mailfasta program is available via anonymous FTP from
- fly.bio.indiana.edu::/incoming/mailfasta3.0
- Mailfasta 3.0 is a UNIX shell script which
- will take a DNA or PROTEIN sequence and will mail it to all the
- different mail-servers where it can be searched against the DNA or PROTEIN
- databases using the FASTA and/or BLAST programs. It can also be used to identify
- ORFs using the GRAIL and/or GeneID/NetGene mail servers and to identify homology
- using PROSITE blocks with the BLOCKS server.
- It uses the new BLAST server at NCBI and the FLAT server in Japan for FASTA
- searches because the services at GenBank will be terminated at the end of this
- month.
-
- It is packed as an shell archive. It contains :
- mailfasta : the UNIX shell script
- cid.c : A small c program which will determine if the sequence is DNA or AA
- getentry : A shell script which can be used to retrieve entries of interest
- mailfasta.doc : The documentation file
-
- The shar file will unpack all these files and will compile cid.c into cid
- using the cc c compiler.
-
- mailfasta makes use oif the program 'readseq' for file conversion.
- This program MUST be present and is NOT packed with this shar file.
- It can be obtained via FTP from various FTP sites (fly.bio.indiana.edu etc.)
-
- This shar file can also be found on this FTP site. First in the 'incomming'
- directory and later in the /molbio/unix directory.
