Description

for some ss-format-examples

Problems:

  • ARB helix numbering will be lost when doing export+import
  • has to be alignment-independent to import correctly after inserting/deleting gaps
    • some formats use one reference sequence (for prediction software this is the sequence on which the prediction has been calculated) - fine for importing that structure
    • when exporting, ARB would need a sequence which is covering all helix-columns (it's quite unlikely that such sequence exists)

Possible solutions:

  • cook own reimportable format
    • save helix-names
    • save a set of sequences, such that for each helix column at least one of them has data
      • may still be impossible (if no seq has data at one helix position)
      • can only be imported, if all sequences of the set exists in the target DB

ideas anybody?
