Please read the following advice about a bug in acedb file parsing.
Following a report by a user at Sanger we have found a bug has been introduced
into the way acedb parses in data, the bug has been in the code for several years so
its surprising it has not come to light before.

The problem can be summarised as follows, if you parse in the following file:


//------start--------
CDS : "R09E10.1"

Sequence : "Eds_sequence"
CDS_child "R09E10.1" 11111 22222

Sequence : "R09E10"
-D CDS_child "R09E10.1" 11111 22222
CDS_child "R09E10.1" 33333 44444
//------------end-----

You end up with "R09E10" looking like this:

Sequence R09E10
  SMap    S_Child     CDS_child   R09E10.1

i.e. you have lost the new coordinates from your change.

There is a work around in that if you do the deletion and addition in two stages then
all will be fine:

Sequence : "R09E10"
-D CDS_child "R09E10.1" 11111 22222

Sequence : "R09E10"
CDS_child "R09E10.1" 33333 44444
We are working on a fix for this but it has proved more complex than originally thought. Once the code has been fixed we will announce it here. In the meantime if you have any questions about this bug please contact the AceDB developers.

AceDB may be downloaded free of charge -- see AceDB Licensing for details.

AceDB: GTK version 1 and version 2 code/binaries

Please read this before downloading acedb

We no longer support compiling versions of acedb with the GTK graphical libraries compiled in. This means you must have these libraries installed on your machine for acedb to compile and/or run.

In addition, Acedb is now compiled against the GTK version 2 libraries, if you download the source/binaries on this page, they will require GTK v2.

The last release of acedb that used the GTK version 1 libraries can be downloaded from here.

AceDB source code/binaries


NB All tar files are currently tar bombs, in that the contents are simply left in your current directory. We plan to change this so detarring the file will create a dedicated directory and then put everything in that, but we haven't done so yet.

There are three levels of code you can download:

Build Version Compiled Test results
Daily (RELEASE.EXPERIMENTAL) 4.9.48 Jul 3 2009 00:31:22 92%
Monthly (RELEASE.2009_03_30) 4.9.47 Mar 30 2009 15:51:05 92%
Public (RELEASE.2007_07_06) 4.9.39 Jul 6 2007 10:53:48 100%

Additional Binaries
    You can also download some additional builds kindly provided by other AceDB users:
