- I do not know of anyone that has indexed the Kabat databases and
- provides a mechanism to retrieve individual sequences.
-
- I have converted the Kabat amino acid database into GenPept format so
- that the GCG utilities can be used. I used the Kabat 5.0 (beta) amino
- acid database. It is available via anonymous ftp from
- amber.mgh.harvard.edu as follows:
-
- cd genbank
- get kabat.genpept
-
- Once on your system you can use: GENBANKTOGCG/GENPEPT to convert this
- text file into a GCG formated database. After then running SEQCAT you
- can use STRINGS and FETCH to retrieve the specific sequences you want.
