Hi martguys, :)

I've continued using martshell, but I can't find a way to extract the
clustal peptide alignments from compara as faa-files. I can do it manually
using martview but I'd like to use it in a local script... is it possible to
get the alignments with martshell?

MartShell> set format=fasta;
MartShell> get aln_peptide;
Attribute aln_peptide is not found in this mart for dataset default

I've found a similar thread
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00665.html and tried to
adapt your answer from it to my problem. But the following command (pasted
from martview's XML output) doesn't return anything remotely similar to
peptide alignments...looks more like a genomic sequence...

ln_genome_name" /><Attribute name = "aln_chro" /><Attribute name =

Any ideas?

thanks a lot!
cheers,
