: As I am involved in both ECD and EGCG, I will try to put something into EGCG 8.0
: when it is ready. I take it you are referring to the very latest (new format)
: ECD here. Do you mean the genorf.dat file or the contigs/*.dna files (which are
: closer to EMBL format and have more sequence data)?

: Beware though - E.coli sequencing is now going so well that ECD has a contig (and
: more to follow) over the 350k mark, which will give some problems with GCG.

: Another option would be to use a script (or Perl) to reformat into enough of an
: "EMBL" format for EMBLtoGCG to accept it.

Hmm.  Can anybody give me a pointer to where I can find the ECD?  I am writing
a thesis which regards computational methods for finding genes in prokaryotic
DNA, and any database more complete than EcoSeq6 would be great.

Thanks.
