Support for batch processing?

(1/1)

Walker:
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?

xiangjun:
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.
