I have been spending the few days getting familiar with
acedb. I have managed to get most things working, except
the thing I really need: the contig display. Unfortunately,
the documentation that I have tracked down doesn't say
much about contigs as such and the on-line help seems not
to match what I am able to display.
First of all, is it even possible to generate a contig
by simply specifying markers present and absent? If not,
how does one get to this "contig editor" aluded to in the
on-line help?
If I am understanding the system correctly, a certain amount
of structure needs to be define in the the models file.
I found a file that had a definition for class Contig
(the default file in the ncbi distribution give a "model
not found error") and got as far as a graphic window with
nothing in it. If this is the "contig-editor", there
are no buttons (as in the physical map display) as the
help states.
Obviously I am pretty clueless at this point... but
is seems like a very worth while package and I would
like to get this figured out....
