April 17, 2006 - BLAST programs
I wanted to use the latest non redundant databases for my BLAST search. Do you provide access to the blast-formatted databases from the command line?

April 17, 2006 - Transfac
In Transfac, I wish to call the program MATCH again and again. Is there a way to do that in batch mode from the command line?

April 17, 2006 - Command-line tools
When I try executing the program OligoArray2.jar it says 'Exception in thread "main" java.util.zip.ZipException: No such file or directory'. What should I do?

April 25, 2005 - BLAST programs
When I run BLASTP, BLASTX, or TBLASTX I get an error message that says, "Unable to open BLOSUM62." What do I need to do?

April 25, 2005 - Using FASTA-format Files
My sequence file is in fasta format. How can I get GCG programs to read it?

April 25, 2005 - Using FASTA-format Files
My fasta-format sequence file contains lines longer than 511 characters. Do I have to edit it by hand to shorten the lines?

April 25, 2005 - Using FASTA-format Files
My fasta-format sequence file contains more than one sequence. Do I have to edit it by hand to create individual sequence files?

April 25, 2005 - Using FASTA-format Files
My fasta-format sequence file contains a LOT of sequences and I really don't want to create that many individual fasta-format sequence files in order to use them with GCG. What are my options?
