[bionet.software] Tools to translate *New* Genbank format

lfk@eastman1.mit.edu (Lee F. Kolakowski) (04/27/91)

I have the Fitch programs for doing the automatic translation 
of genbank data that i receive over the net. It fails quite regularly,
(my hacks on it not withstanding). 

Are there any new programs to take a Genbank file with the *new*
features table info, and turn it into protein?

especially where the coding sequence is split across several entries.

We have software which we use to translate the daily updates at GOS.
We also still have occasional problems here and can not say that the
software is ready for general release.  Translating the entire flat
file database has also proved to be a tougher problem than we
anticipated.  We are continuing to investigate the situation and will
distribute the software when the problems are ironed out.  In the
meantime you can FTP the GenPept updates on a daily basis from
genbank.bio.net instead of trying to process them yourself.
