Function

Remove a section from a sequence

Description

This simple editing program allows you to cut out a region from your sequence by specifying the begin and end positions of the region to remove. It removes the sequence from the specified start to the end positions (inclusive) and writes the remaining sequence to the output file.

Usage

Here is a sample session with cutseq

To remove bases 10 to 12 from a database entry and write to the new sequence file 'gatta2.seq': 


% cutseq tembl:x13776 gatta2.seq -from=10 -to=12 
Remove a section from a sequence

Go to the input files for this example
Go to the output files for this example

Example 2

To remove the first 20 bases from 'tembl:x13776' and write it to 'jsh.seq': 


% cutseq tembl:x13776 -from=1 -to=20 -out=jsh.seq 
Remove a section from a sequence

Go to the output files for this example

Example 3

If the default start and end positions are accepted, then all of the sequence is removed! 


% cutseq tembl:x13776 starta.seq -sbeg=-1000 -send=1290 
Remove a section from a sequence
Start of region to delete [1168]: 
End of region to delete [1290]:

Input file format

cutseq reads a single nucleotide or protein sequence.

The input is a standard EMBOSS sequence query (also known as a 'USA').

Major sequence database sources defined as standard in EMBOSS installations include srs:embl, srs:uniprot and ensembl

Data can also be read from sequence output in any supported format written by an EMBOSS or third-party application.

The input format can be specified by using the command-line qualifier -sformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required format. The available format names are: gff (gff3), gff2, embl (em), genbank (gb, refseq), ddbj, refseqp, pir (nbrf), swissprot (swiss, sw), dasgff and debug.

See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/SequenceFormats.html for further information on sequence formats.
