Exon_52 Running Look/GeneMine to make homology models of 
proteins and automatically annotate sequences at MUSC.


MUSC users with access to Xserver software on their PC/MACs may configure 
their MUSC network accounts to run MAG's Look/GeneMine program.
STANDARD telnet connections to the BCR machines will not allow access
to LOOK/GENEMINE. You must use Xserver software such as MIx, MAC-X, eXceed or 
eXodus. 

XLOOK reads sequence information (eg SwissProt FT lines) and starts an 
automated bioinformatic workup of the sequence. The program 
will then produce alignments and launch routines to create 3D coordinates
of a homology model of the query sequence to a suitable template. Finally
images may be produced in a POSTSCRIPT format file which may be edited or
printed.

Users will have to add the following line to their .cshrc file:

alias xlook /usr/common/bcr/look3/xlook

After adding the above line to ".cshrc", logout and login again. At that point 
typing "xlook" will launch the program. The manual and a brief tutorial are  
available within under the help button.
