How can I analyse multiple sequences?
The Web Services provided by EBI are limited to one sequence, or one set of sequences, per job. Thus if you wish to analyse multiple sequences you will have to submit multiple jobs. The simplest way to do this is to create a set of files containing one sequence per file, and then loop over the files submitting each one, and getting the result. To split a file containing multiple fasta formatted sequences use the following scripts: UNIX and UNIX-like environments: fsplit.sh MS Windows: fsplit.bat These scripts require the csplit program. The csplit program is available as part of the GNU coreutils package, for MS Windows a pre-complied version is available: csplit.zip. To following scripts illustrate how to submit the jobs: UNIX and UNIX-like environments: wsbatch.
The Web Services provided by EMBL-EBI are limited to one sequence (e.g. the query sequence for a sequence similarity search), or one set of sequences (e.g. the set of sequences to be aligned for a multiple sequence alignment), per job. Thus if you wish to analyse multiple sequences you will have to submit multiple jobs.
