Question

Use the seqret program to retrieve the genome sequence with ID L44595 from the local "ecolin" database (see the output from showdb earlier in this lab). Use the USA "ecolin:L44595" as the "input sequence". Retrieve the genome sequence twice, the first time in EMBL format, and the second time in GenBank format. Store the former in file L44595.embl in your home directory, and the latter in a file named L44595.genbank. Use a USA for the output file argument so that seqret performs the necessary formatting automatically.

Confirm by visual inspection that the same information has been stored in two different formats.

Note that one can always force a particular output format to be used (independent of the USA used), by employing the -osformat2 command-line option to seqret.
