I have no tree. How can I get one ??

ANSWERQUESTION
When I'm using the Phylip tools for building trees, the program skips over
the Phylip menu (except in ARB_NT, Phylip Distance Methods). It is,
therefore, not possible to use the Phylip options, e.g. to select an
outgroup when doing bootstrap analysis.
| |
|
ANSWER
There is a second menu-button in the tree-build sub-menu which starts
the original phylip programs with interactive access to all parameters.

QUESTION
It would be nice to be able to close a database without having to exit ARB.

|
ANSWER
Sorry, that would be to complicated to program.

QUESTION
Finally, do you have a 23S alignment, that I could use? I have tried to
build my own, based on the sequences available from RDP. But that's only 34
sequences, and when I align my own 23S sequences against those, the computer
runs out of memory. I hope this problem can be solved by putting some more
memory in the computer (I currently have 64 mb RAM and I'm going to double
that). The shorter 16S sequences causes no problems. Anyway, I would be
thankfull if a 23S alignment could be made available.

ANSWER
Wolfgang Ludwig has a 23s alignment with 500 Sequences. I will ask
him to give it to me and you.

QUESTION
When I try to start the aligner V1.0 or V2.0 I get a message:
libARBDB.so.2 not found, Aligner failed

ANSWER
You are probably using the LINUX operating system and have not
installed arb under root account. Please login as root and run
the arb_install program again, but don't update the old package.
