[Seqinr-forum] frozen version of EMBL / mirror of ACNUC?

[Coghlan, Avril]

Dear Jean,

Thanks very much for pointing me to the information on how to install a
local ACNUC server. 
It is very nice that SeqinR has such good documentation.

Regards,
Avril

Dear Avril,

yes, you can install your own local ACNUC server. This is explained
in chapter 8 (Installation of a local ACNUC socket server and of
a local ACNUC database on your computer) in the documentation that
ships with seqinr. The documentation is also available on R-forge
here: http://seqinr.r-forge.r-project.org/

Best,
