Function

Insert one sequence into another

Description

pasteseq inserts one sequence into another at a specified position and writes the new, combined sequence to an output file.

Usage

Here is a sample session with pasteseq

To insert the sequence 'tsw:flav_nossm' after position 67 in sequence 'tsw:amir_pseae' and write the results to the file 'amir_pseae.fasta': 


% pasteseq tsw:amir_pseae tsw:flav_nossm -pos=67 
Insert one sequence into another
output sequence [amir_pseae.fasta]:

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

Example 2

This does the same thing, but the output qualifier is explicitly used: 


% pasteseq tsw:amir_pseae tsw:flav_nossm -out=amirplus.seq -pos=67 
Insert one sequence into another

Go to the output files for this example

Example 3

To insert the sequence 'tsw:flav_nossm' before the start of sequence 'tsw:amir_pseae' use -pos=0: 


% pasteseq tsw:amir_pseae tsw:flav_nossm -out=amirplus.seq -pos=0

Input file format

pasteseq reads two nucleotide or protein sequences.

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.
