<H2>
    Function
</H2>
Search REBASE for enzyme name, references, suppliers etc

<H2>
    Description
</H2>


The Restriction Enzyme database (REBASE) is a collection of information about
restriction enzymes and related proteins. It contains published and
unpublished references, recognition and cleavage sites, isoschizomers,
commercial availability, methylation sensitivity, crystal and sequence data.
DNA methyltransferases, homing endonucleases, nicking enzymes, specificity
subunits and control proteins are also included. Most recently, putative DNA
methyltransferases and restriction enzymes, as predicted from analysis of
genomic sequences, are also listed. 

<p>
The home page of REBASE is: <a
href="http://rebase.neb.com/">http://rebase.neb.com/</a>

<p>
This program searches the REBASE database for information on a specified
restriction enzyme.  

<p>
It outputs a report including the cut site, isoschizomers, references
and commercial suppliers of the enzyme.

This includes the full list of isoschizomers (enzymes with the same
target sequence), suppliers and references from the REBASE database. 

<H2>
    Data files
</H2>

<p>
EMBOSS data files are distributed with the application and stored
in the standard EMBOSS data directory, which is defined
by the EMBOSS environment variable EMBOSS_DATA.

<p>

To see the available EMBOSS data files, run:
<p>
<pre>
% embossdata -showall
</pre>
<p>
To fetch one of the data files (for example 'Exxx.dat') into your
current directory for you to inspect or modify, run:

<pre>

% embossdata -fetch -file Exxx.dat

</pre>
<p>

Users can provide their own data files in their own directories.
Project specific files can be put in the current directory, or for
tidier directory listings in a subdirectory called
".embossdata". Files for all EMBOSS runs can be put in the user's home
directory, or again in a subdirectory called ".embossdata".

<p>
The directories are searched in the following order:

<ul>
   <li> . (your current directory)
   <li> .embossdata (under your current directory)
   <li> ~/ (your home directory)
   <li> ~/.embossdata
</ul>
<p>
<p>
The EMBOSS REBASE restriction enzyme data files are stored iin
directory 'data/REBASE/*' under the EMBOSS installation directory.

<p>

These files must first be set up using the program <a
href="rebaseextract.html">'<b>rebaseextract</b>'</a>.  Running
'rebaseextract' may be the job of your system manager.

<p>
      
The data files are stored in the REBASE directory of the standard EMBOSS
data directory. The names are:

<ul>
<li> embossre.enz     Cleavage information
<li> embossre.ref     Reference/methylation information
<li> embossre.sup     Supplier information
</ul>
	 
The column information is described at the top of the data files
	 
<p>
	 
The reported enzyme from any one group of isoschizomers (the prototype)
is specified in the REBASE database and the information is held in the
data file 'embossre.equ'.  You may edit this file to set your own
preferred prototype, if you wish. 
	 
<p>
	 
The format of the file "embossre.equ" is
<br>
Enzyme-name Prototype-name
	 
<p>
	 
i.e.  two columns of enzyme names separated by a space.  The first name
of the pair of enzymes is the name that is not preferred and the second
is the preferred (prototype) name.
