Artemis, Is It Possible To Compare Genomes Gbk Vs Fasta Format?

Question

[pilarel]

It might be a simple question, but I have been trying to do it and cant find the way to do it, However I thought since artemis is so well known it should be possible to do such a simple task.

I would like to know if Artemis can compare two files... one would be GBK (genebank file) and the other one is a fasta file with a sequence.

I am using Biolinux tools (includes Artemis)... is there any tool in this package where i can do this? I just need to visualize the location (whcih genes) of some mutations that are in the fasta file.

I guess Artemis can't visualise the mutations by using the fasta files. You need a variant file in vcf or bcf format instead. Then that file need to be compressed and indexed before uploading in Artemis.
