Many programs that try to detect possible restriction sites in nucleotide sequences while maintaining the protein sequence fail big time. Because the genetic code is degenerate you can by silent mutation change the nucleotide sequence while maintaining the protein sequence.

However, most programs that aim to identify those possible silent changes look only for single nucleotide substitutions (e.g. EMBOSS, GCK2.5, etc.). The only program that seems to detects also more complex changes is a web tool: WatCut.

I tested the encrypted file sharing application KDX under wine. It works perfectly. I wonder why it isn't on the wine gold list. The reason why it works so well is that it doesn't rely heavily on the windows base, but does most of the needed stuff (graphics, etc.) itself: KDXClient1110-Win.zip. BTW: I used as a tracker hlsux.bugdave.com.

BackupPC has been working without me noticing it. Now I want set up the web interface.

First I downloaded apach2-mod_perl and perl-Tie-IxHash (there are Suse rpms) and installed them.
Directories/files that I duplicated (this is only necessary if you need to run two instances of the Apache server):
