Trying to convert embl to fasta: problems with Emboss 6.5.7

[mstagliamonte]

Hi, everyone,

and Happy New Year.

I am trying to convert some embl files to fasta using EMBOSS 6.5.7. The problem is that the resulting files have got a sequence length different from the source. They are all single sequence files and here is my command:

seqret embl::input_file.embl fasta:utput_file.fasta

Is there any known bug or am I doing it wrong?

Thanks for your help,
Max

edit: the smiley is actually ': o' without the space between characters.

That command works for me.

$ seqret embl::input_file.embl fasta::output_file.fasta

Did you move the file between a PC/Mac and a Unix machine by any chance? This may be the usual problem with file format differences.

Hint: Put [ CODE ] command [ /CODE ] tags around your command to cure the smiley issue (remove the extra space I put in before/after the CODE when you use the tag).

... Thanks. I do not remember on which computer I originally stored the files. I am going to download them again and try. Hope that is the problem.

Regards,
Max
