Hello,
Just a quick post wondering if anyone's developed a Reader component for the archive files output by Invitrogen's Vector Nti. (.ma3 / .pa3 files)
They're just text files which hold sequence data (nucleotide / protein respectively) and the associated metadata (name, description, feature groups etc).
If I have to go it myself can anyone point me to a good description of how to create a "Sequence Type" record from what will initially be a string in a regular property. I've got a component to do this step already (previously provided on the community forum) but there's some perl script in it which I can't decipher and I'd just like to know what's going on under the hood.
Many thanks, Tris
