Support for batch processing?
« on: March 10, 2020, 01:54:27 pm »
Hello,

I'm using the 'fiber' command in a local installation of 3DNA to generate DNA structures from specified sequences in .pdb format for use in subsequent simulations. However, I would like to generate separate .pdb files for thousands of unique DNA sequences.

Is there a way to use this command on a batch of sequences to generate separate .pdb files for each sequence without manually entering each sequence into the command line?

Hi,

You could use file redirections for batch process. Or try other available tools that may be able to do this job better. If I could receive continued funding support, I will improve the 3DNA "fiber" command for applications like this. Nowadays, such feather enhancements are treated as "incremental" (not "novel"), and I may no longer be able to continuously support the community.

Best regards,

Xiang-Jun

You may have already found a solution to the above question. As a follow-up, the fiber module in DSSR Pro has more advanced features and much better usability than 3DNA, including such batch processing.
