Can you please cite a source for that information or perhaps a parameter for sffinfo which defines the adaptors which should be used? Or, th best possibility, could you show with an example that the extracted sequence from sff_extract is different from the one of sffinfo? The documentation on the SFF file format already defines adaptor clipping points in itself ... and those are computed by some Roche pre-processing software (and that is certainly not sffinfo) and then written to the SFF. To the best of my knowledge, sffinfo just uses that information (as does sff_extract). B. -- You have received this mail because you are subscribed to the mira_talk mailing list.
