Subsection 6.3.1

View Data on the Screen

The GCG program typedata displays database entries on the screen. The entry specification must be provided as

database:name

or

database:accessionnumber

e.g.,

 

  
genembl:pbr322      (EMBL) 
  
genembl:synblue     (Genbank)
  

  
Note that the entry name or accession number must be determined in advance via any of the methods described above If you want to view annotation data on the screen, use the command line qualifier "ref":

% typedata -ref

 
FETCH copies GCG sequences or data files from the GCG database into 
  
your directory or displays them on your terminal screen. 
  

  
FETCH what sequence(s) ?  genembl:pbr322 
  

  
pbr322_ref
  
PBR322     - Plasmid pBR322 complete sequence
  
ID   PBR322     standard DNA SYN 4363 BP.
  
XX
  
AC   V01119
  
XX
  
...
  

  
The programs 'gopher' and WWW allow you to view database entries in a very convenient fashion. See the corresponding sections below for details.


Subsection 6.3.2

database:name

or

database:accessionnumber

genembl:pbr322      (EMBL) 
  
genembl:synblue     (Genbank)
  

  
Note that the entry name or accession number must be determined in advance via any of the methods described above. The dialogue on the screen is as follows:

% fetch

 
FETCH copies GCG sequences or data files from the GCG database
  
into your directory or displays them on your terminal screen.

pbr322.syn
