adding annotation to genbank file from your local machine in R

Hi All,

i want to update the genbank flat file I have on my local machine using R. Is it possible? If it is please what package or function can I use. I have browsed it but nothing concrete found. I have the annotation details in a tabular format and am looking at how I can map genes in the tabular format to gene in genbank format so I can append the annotation. Please advise. Many thanks

genebank r

R is probably not the best solution to this problem. I'd look at one of the Bio* projects (BioPerl, BioRuby, BioPython), all of which provide modules to parse and write sequences in many formats including GenBank.

Thanks Neilfws for the advise. will try learning BioPerl
