Joe,
We do not use function field.
We record function in the product field and you can auto-populate the fields of your choice by using the arrow that is in the upper right corner of each field.
Make sense?

Hi Kathleen,
Sounds like your preferences are not quite right.

In step 2, make sure that you have the server set correctly. the unlock code is Hatfull and there is no password.

Hi Nikki,
I am sure I called CrystalP, and now want to disagree with the intron part of that call. According to the literature, the introns have to be self-splicing in a prokaryote. So it has to be ~200-ish nucleotides.
As for whether that second tRNA is worth calling, the argument has persisted for 17 years. I need to investigate further. Give me a bit of time for this one.
thanks,
debbie

Kathleen,
I just tried. My mac asked me to choose an application to open the ftp link. I clicked the "always" box and it downloaded. (see message screen shot). I did not overtly select an application.

Nikki,
I have not encountered that. Here are some thoughts about it.
what is the size of the blasted file. Is it the size of a blasted or unblasted file (meaning is it 50kb or 250 kb-ish?)
If it is bigger, then the blast date is there. I am guessing that if you unpack and repack the .dnam5 file, it will 'appear".

what you will have do differently is go into the blast folder to make sure you have all the files.
Not sure it is the problem, but worth looking in to.

You too!
Terrific that you contacted Kirk!
Thanks,

Hi Andrea,
i do not know how to do this in PECAAN, but in following Kirk's explanation for Coco12, i would annotate it the same way he did.

Hi Kristen and all,
This is one of those genes that needs a dig deep. Here are some of what i have been thinking.
I am reluctant to call a RecE without a RecT.
I don't know how to differentiate between a RecE, a generic exonuclease or the Cas4 family exonuclease. I am looking forward to what we can figure out about these.
Good question, sorry to not be of much help.
