Before use, untar seqdir.tgz and virtdir.tgz. This is the test data. To check the function of RagbagDirectoryHandler on concrete sequences:- java TestRagbagAssembly seqdir This will instantiate an in-memory object where annotations in Annotation/ are applied to seqdir/AE003462.2.game. To test the function of RagbagDirectoryHandler on virtual sequences:- java TestRagbagAssembly virtdir This will construct a virtual sequence (SimpleAssembly) onto which the three sequences comprising the left tip of the Drosophila X-chromosome are mapped. The format of the Map file can be seen in virtdir/Map. Basically, it's an XML format. Enjoy, David Huen, Dept. of Genetics, Univ. of Cambridge
