Hi Marc, My understanding is that you can't use SQLForge to create a chip-level .db package unless there is a corresponding db0 package. Is that not true? In this case the OP wants a rice.db package - is there an easy way to make such a beast without a corresponding db0 package? Perhaps using the makeOrgPackageFromNCBI?
