Hello

Try  running wgetz on the command line. Like

wgetz '[swissprot-id:acha_human] > embl'

and check what you get. That should help you to identify the real problem!

Could anyone tell me that what version of blast and fasta driver 
programs are used in SRS5.1? I couldn't make them work in SRS5.1 like I
did in SRS5.0.5.

In SRS5.0.5, the blast version I used was "BLASTP 1.4.9MP
[26-March-1996]" and the fasta version I used was "version 3.0t75
December, 1996. " 

Does anybody have an idea to make them work?

Ray

Just to say that on the systems on which we have srs installed
(irix5.3 and OSF1) the -vf option of getz does not seem to work
with any database.

Dear Bionet SRS mainainters, I mailed this question on the 13.01 but so
far got no feedback and the error is perfectly reproducible. I would
appreciate if anybody could provide with feedback.

I was just wondering if you also are observing on IRIX 6.4 that SRS 5.1.0
getz produces a core dump when invoked with the following statement:

getz '[swissprot-id:100k_RAT]' -vf cit

The same command is not failing when operating on version 5.0.5

The swissprot indexes are fully working and operational otherwhise as
could be checked by the wgetz properly working ...

any feedback is welcome !

regards

	Dear SRS experts,

When I select a protein from the SwissProt and I try to link to HSSP I
get an 
limitexceeded ! Maximum number of "links in buffer" is 450000
error

I searched in the Icarus files and in the SRS source code to find where
the 450000 limit is defined so that I might adapt it, but I could not find it.
Can someone explain me how to proceed ?

I have modified the blastdb, it seems that blast works fine now for me.

The TRANSFAC server now has made accessible the new release 3.3 of the
TRANSFAC database (Heinemeyer et al., 1998, Nucleic Acids Res. 26:364-370):

http://transfac.gbf.de/

TRANSFAC is a database on eukaryotic transcription factors and their
binding sites. As new features, it visualizes the items of the feature list
(FACTOR table) as well as element positions within regulatory regions (GENE
table). Moreover, the data volume has increased comprising now 2285 FACTOR
and 4602 SITE entries.

A new extended search option is available. The SRS 5.1.0 version on the
TRANSFAC server also offers access to the databases TRRD (Transcription
Regulatory Region Database, Institute of Cytology and Genetics [ICG],
Novosibirsk, Russia; N. A. Kolchanov/A. Kel et al.) and to COMPEL, a
database on composite elements (joint effort by ICG and GBF). Available at:
	http://transfac.gbf.de/srs5/

As many users know, the sequence information contained in the SITE table is
used by PatSearch 1.1 to interactively scan DNA sequences for potential TF
binding sites. This program is accessible at:
	http://transfac.gbf.de/cgi-bin/patSearch/patsearch.pl

An updated library of matrices for transcription factor binding sites is
provided which can be used for sequence analysis with MatInspector release
2.1 (Quandt et al., 1995, Nucleic Acids Res. 23:4878-4884). 
This tool is available at 
	http://transfac.gbf.de/cgi-bin/matSearch/matsearch.pl
or at
	http://www.gsf.de/BIODV/matinspector.html
(Thomas Werner and coworkers).

Please, forward this mail to your colleagues which may be interested in
using these tools.

Hello,

I have another simple question:

Is it possible to save all hits from a query IN A SINGLE OPERATION
as full entries (including the sequence), in such a format that GCG can
deal with it (so seperate files for each entry, or msf files, or
something that
gcg can import).

I know i can select multiple entries and save them in GCG format as
full entries, but this gives a single file which can not be read by GCG.



Regards,

found the bug. easy to fix:

edit getz.c. in function BuildView

replace the line

ViewAddRootLib (view, LibObjByName ("library", libName));

by

ViewAddRootLib (view, libName);

recompile getz with

srsmake getz

i would save the set in pir format and then use GCG's frompir to convert
into single sequence files. before you click on the save button send the
chunksize to something large to make sure that only one save operation
is necessary

Hi

Sorry, I forgot to mention one more option in the 'download query' page

Before pressing save button in 'download query' page

also select ' Use View' as Complete Entries

Hello

Yes it is possible!  You can do it from the 'Query Manager' page.

Go to Query manager page after doing your query
Select the query you want to save, press save button.
  Now you are in the 'Download query page'.
Select the chunksize
Select the sequence format  (select swiss or embl format)
select 'use mimetype'  as binary ( binary ? do not worry about that)
press save button
(the browser should offer you now to enter a filename to save)

(IF you have local SRS then you can do all the above with 
'getz' ! That is the easiest way) 

In GCG you can use 

fromembl program to convert all the sequences to gcg format 
and carry on from there!

fromembl writes each entry into separate file.

(fromembl works for protein seqeuences as well!)

(Note selecting sequence format from SRS does not work with gcg 9.1)

If you have trouble let me know.

Hope this helps!

Ramu

Not to my knowledge!
There has been a lot of talk about that and i went even so far as creating a
simple prototype with the help of a perl expert at Argonne Ntl. lab.
It is really easy and the C api seems very suitable for that sort of thing.
We don't unfortunately have enough resources to it properly
...any volunteers??? We would pay you a free lunch at the Red Lion in
Hinxton!

Thure

The latest Transfac 3.3 release includes updated Icarus files.
The original versions had some minor problems, but I have updated them
and GBF probably now provide the corrected ones. If not, you can
pick up the Sanger versions from http://www.sanger.ac.uk/srs5/

These are fine for me, also on OSF.

... though the only change in tfclass.i or tfclass.is that could
affect you is an increased maxNameLen to 20 in tfclass.i

The TRANSFAC server now has made accessible the new release 3.3 of the
TRANSFAC database (Heinemeyer et al., 1998, Nucleic Acids Res. 26:364-370):

http://transfac.gbf.de/

TRANSFAC is a database on eukaryotic transcription factors and their
binding sites. As new features, it visualizes the items of the feature list
(FACTOR table) as well as element positions within regulatory regions (GENE
table). Moreover, the data volume has increased comprising now 2285 FACTOR
and 4602 SITE entries.

A new extended search option is available. The SRS 5.1.0 version on the
TRANSFAC server also offers access to the databases TRRD (Transcription
Regulatory Region Database, Institute of Cytology and Genetics [ICG],
Novosibirsk, Russia; N. A. Kolchanov/A. Kel et al.) and to COMPEL, a
database on composite elements (joint effort by ICG and GBF). Available at:
        http://transfac.gbf.de/srs5/

As many users know, the sequence information contained in the SITE table is
used by PatSearch 1.1 to interactively scan DNA sequences for potential TF
binding sites. This program is accessible at:
        http://transfac.gbf.de/cgi-bin/patSearch/patsearch.pl

An updated library of matrices for transcription factor binding sites is
provided which can be used for sequence analysis with MatInspector release
2.1 (Quandt et al., 1995, Nucleic Acids Res. 23:4878-4884). 
This tool is available at 
        http://transfac.gbf.de/cgi-bin/matSearch/matsearch.pl
or at
        http://www.gsf.de/BIODV/matinspector.html
(Thomas Werner and coworkers).

Please, forward this mail to your colleagues which may be interested in
using these tools.

Hi
I have noticed that at srs.ebi.ac.uk that if someone has javascript disabled
and they are using Netscape4 that a message:
SRS requires a javascript enabled browser 
appears when they try to access the top page.
However when I do the same thing I get a blank page.
Is there a fix to wgetz that allows us to display this message.
Thank you in anticipation

This BIOSCI "miniFAQ" is designed to answer the questions that come up
the *most frequently*.  The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked
Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL
http://www.bio.net/.

If you can not find an answer to your question in this or other
documentation, the BIOSCI technical support staff answers e-mail
queries sent to

		       biosci-help@net.bio.net

We can only answer questions about the use of the newsgroups and
mailing lists.  We unfortunately do not have the staff to do Internet
information searches or answer scientific questions.  Please post
those to the appropriate BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups.

0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!!
------------------------------
BIOSCI's government funding has been expended, and we are now
operating solely from advertising revenue that we have raised from our
Web site at http://www.bio.net/.  We need just a few minutes of your
time to help us serve you.

You can do two important things which will take very little time for
you individually and will immensely help us continue to help you.

First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the
archives.  You can post or reply to messages via your Web browser as
described in item #1 below.  Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you
contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for
supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if
they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term.

Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides
products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass
this message on to your marketing or marketing communications
department or other appropriate group.  Please ask them to help
support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and
benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are
interested, they can then contact us for further information at our
tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net.


1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups.
--------------------------------------------------------
As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are
accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net.
One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings
and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured
properly to send e-mail.  Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS
index.  The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS
Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address
database described in another item further below.


2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc.
-------------------------------------------------------
BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups),
mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/.
The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small
number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net).  Unfortunately it
is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out
to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of
newsgroups and mailing lists.  These attempts to grab free advertising
are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net
terminology.  USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many
spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the
mailing lists.  However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses
and hit these too, so neither medium is immune.

What should you do personally if you get junk mail?
---------------------------------------------------
Just delete it and move on without reading it further.  Filing a
protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often
disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from.  Unless you
really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by
sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the
address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing.

What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups?
----------------------------------------------------
The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup.
If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape.
Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the
spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists
completely.  Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the
time to review each message before it goes out.  We have set up
software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an
address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed.
This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass
it on, say about 1 min. per message.

Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible
for their newsgroup.  The discussions leaders and their e-mail
addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is
available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/.  If a newsgroup is being
hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader
for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group.
Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the
newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your
complaint.  With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has
to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems
directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net.

We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells
us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator
is willing to do the work.  For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this
entails only a few minutes of work each day.

Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings
on the USENET distribution.  Unfortunately there are easy ways for
determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET,
but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if
the newsgroup is moderated.  You can also access our newsgroups over
the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net.  While this Web interface will not
stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you
yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of
your personal mail files.  For those of you with local USENET news
systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new
newsgroups and recent postings.


3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists.
------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on
subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the
newsgroups and mailing lists.  People who do this only bother everyone
on the lists to no avail.  Please be sure to follow the proper
procedures below.

Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at
http://www.bio.net.  Below we give an example utilizing the
METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites:

Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI
------------------------------------------------------------------
node at computer net.bio.net:
----------------------------

A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address
                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   for the group.  These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet.  For
   the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is
   methods@net.bio.net.  The listname is the portion of the address to
   the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods".  The listname is used with
   the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below.

B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to
   biosci-server@net.bio.net.  Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup
   posting addresses!  Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it
   will be ignored.

C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following
   commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g.,

   subscribe methods
   unsubscribe methods
   end

   Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines.  The
   server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address
   on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list.
   Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has
   changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells
   you that you are not a member.


Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at
--------------------------------------------------------------------
computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk):
-------------------------------------------------

To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to
specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended.
The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet
on the Web at http://www.bio.net/.  For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list
the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the
appropriate commands are

    sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts

    unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts

These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk,
NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses.  As usual, include the text in
the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored.

To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use

    unsub bionet-news

	Dear SRS developers and fellow SRS server managers,

While trying to implement a direct link between PIR and EMBL/GENBANK I
ran into trouble. After some searching I found that the cause was a bug
in the SRS software itself. It seems that when there is e.g. an Icarus
line :
$link:[@SWISSPROT_DB to:@?EMBL_DB token:'link|EMBL' toField:@DF_Accession]
not just tokens with code EMBL are put in the index, but all tokens.

To convince yourself of this, try the following :
search in SWISSPROT the entry with ID HA12_MOUSE
then make the link to EMBL
you will see that besides the two correct EMBL entries you also find
A02201 which is not related to the sequence SWISSPROT:HA12_MOUSE but
happens to have the same accession number as the corresponding PIR
entry.

SRS is great, but keeping it alive costs a lot of sweat and tears...

As a newcomer to SRS I ran into problems building the indices for
GenBank (GCG format).
I'm using SRS 5.1.0 on IRIX 6.4. The GenBank release is 104 (12/97), as
obtained from GCG.

I tried to modify genbank.i to switch from EMBL to GCG format.
srsbuild -info genbank seems to work fine.
srsbuild -w genbank gives the following:

> ...processing GENBANK
> ...processing /u04/gcggenbank/gb_ba.ref
> ...processing /u04/gcggenbank/gb_ba.seq
> Entry name mismatch:  ref=A16SRRNA, seq=
>
But I can't see anything wrong with the file headers:

> % head /u04/gcggenbank/gb_ba.ref
> >>>>A16SRRNA  7/97
> X87617 Actinomycete (genus unknown) 16S ribosomal RNA. 7/97
>
> ....

> >>>>A16SRRNA  7/97  2BIT  Len: 1497
> X87617 Actinomycete (genus unknown) 16S ribosomal RNA. 7/97
>

This problem did not occur when building the SwissProt indices.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

I've seen this also and the fix was changing the line

('ORIGIN' {$Not} lnT {$App})+ lnT)?

to

('ORIGIN' {$Not} lnT {$App})+ lnT lnT?)?

in the entry production in genbank.is. Check
http://www.seqnet.dl.ac.uk/srs5bin/cgi-bin/wgetz?-fun+PageIcarusFile+-l+GENBANK+-ifile+is
for a genbank.is which works with gcg genbank. It also handles the
citation field, and does the hyperlinks in the db_xref fields in
the feature tables correctly.

Cheers,

Martin

PS - release 104 ??? - the latest release is 105 !

Hello,

Is it possible to define views in views.i that not
only include fields but also text strings.

I'm using srs 5.0.5

Hi


Problem: 1
==========


embl.i  icarus file (at EMBL) has three databases namely 
emblnew, embl, emblest defined!

when i try 

srscheck -l emblest 

it is fine since EMBLEST is updated!

But when i say 

srscheck -l 'emblnew emblest' 

then it says  

======> must build indices for library "EMBLNEW"

but in the srsupdate file it has lines to update EMBLEST also!


This problem is there with srs5_05 and srs5_1

========

Problem No:2

with SRS5.1  while building indices I get

SRSDB:embl.is:87: error: insufficient memory - error during malloc, could not
allocate "Cursor object"  


Any insight ?


Ramu
