New Fixes: ---------- +Full length Transcript objects now incorporate SL1/SL2 and polyA feature data to represent transcripts more accurately. Known Problems: -------------- +The incorporation of SL features in to the Coding_transcript objects has highlighted an existing problem where TSL sequences have not been identified completely. This means that small parts of TSL sequences on the 5' end of ESTs etc that coincidently align with the genome are being missinterpreted, resulting in a secondary Coding_transcript object being created that is only a few base pairs different to an existing one. Other Changes: -------------- Added Made_into_transposon tag into ?Gene model to more clearly track those genes whose CDSs have been made into transposon_CDSs. Proposed Changes / Forthcoming Data: ------------------------------------ -===================================================================================- Quick installation guide for UNIX/Linux systems ----------------------------------------------- 1. Create a new directory to contain your copy of WormBase, e.g. /users/yourname/wormbase 2. Unpack and untar all of the database.*.tar.gz files into this directory. You will need approximately 2-3 Gb of disk space. 3. Obtain and install a suitable acedb binary for your system (available from www.acedb.org). 4. Use the acedb 'xace' program to open your database, e.g. type 'xace /users/yourname/wormbase' at the command prompt. 5. See the acedb website for more information about acedb and using xace. ____________ END _____________
