REBASE

Rebase is the restriction enzyme database maintained by New England Biolabs. It is needed for programs such as remap and restrict.

The latest version of Rebase can be obtained by anonymous FTP.[*] EMBOSS needs the withrefm file. The data is extracted for EMBOSS with the program REBASEEXTRACT.

If you installed EMBOSS with the -prefix option you may need to create the REBASE directory under the EMBOSS data directory (/site/prog/emboss/data in this example) This directory only needs creating once.


% mkdir /site/prog/emboss/data/REBASE
% rebaseextract
Extract data from REBASE
Full pathname of WITHREFM: /data/rebase/withrefm.008
Rebase is now installed and ready to use.
