Hi Jack,

A quick solution is to insert a short sequence containing stop codons in all six reading frames in between every contig sequence in your fasta file. I agree it would be nice to have this as an artemis feature.

Cheers
Scott

Dear all,

I am not sure if this came up already, but I have a question. If it cannot be done I'll make it a feature request.

We have a 454 genome sequence, which is fragmented into many contigs. We used a fasta file of all contigs to start genome annotation. Artemis was used to determine ORFs. Unfortunately some ORFs cross the contig border to the next (random position) contig. This makes annotation, especially automated blasts, more difficult, and sometimes we miss info. Is there a way to tell Artemis not to cross contig borders while defining ORFs? If it is not possible I request an option for this for future releases ;) I think that more and more people will have fragmented genome data for quick/early screening.

Cheers, Jack
