How do not open the "open reading frames" window with che command seqshoworfs?

Hi, I need to iterate through 80K sequences and find the possible ORFs in each sequence. I have been struggling with this since the command seqshoworfs automatically opens one window for each sequence analyzed and since I have so many sequences it gets stuck ("busy") and won't work anymore. Is there a way I can avoid displaying this window? Thank you all very much

It's not clear from the documentation, but if you do

edit seqshoworfs.m

You'll see that it can take 'nodisplay' argument (line 165). To suppress display, you simply have to issue command like this:

result = seqshoworfs(seq, 'nodisplay', 'true');

Thank you very much for your help, it now works correctly.

thanks from me too.

glad to have found this, though I have only 3523 sequences to run :)
